For me, this was a sloppy mess from the beginning. The recipe seemed to produce too much egg mixture, but I poured all of it over the bread anyway. In the morning, the bread was soggy to the point of near disintegration. I was hoping that perhaps this was expected, and that baking would salvage it. No such luck. The outside was overdone, the inside was still a mushy mess, and no one could even taste the cream cheese. Anyone have any suggestions? Or a similar experience?<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"","GUID":"138fafc588344d3aace4154b087d59dd","MemberId":3738299,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"country21","SubmittedDate":"02\/14\/2009 13:42"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"02\/04\/2009 14:10","GUID":"914C19FD181A4D2C848962CF1C0A0DA4","MemberId":570917,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"upthecreek","SubmittedDate":"02\/04\/2009 14:10"},{"Comment":"
PS: I did just remember that my recipe calls for 'good' bread. We use a firm bread like Arnold or Pepperidge Farm. Also, stale, or old, bread would work very well. I can see where a very soft bread might get soggy, but honestly I think it would be fine as well, but if you are worried about that just let the softer bread get a bit 'stale' or old.....not real hard - just a bit. Just let it sit out on the counter for a few hours.<\/p>

I have used this recipe for a few years now.... we don't call it 'stuffed' but it is still the same one and it is by far the very best for making ahead.<\/p>
The bread doesn't get soggy at all. You must try it to see and yuo will absolutely love it forever..... especially if you like french toast.<\/p>
We always make it for company and it is good to take to work for a brunch. It reheats well in the micro wave and I am told it freezes well but we never have any leftover!<\/p>
Hope you enjoy it! Wish I had posted it myself.. why do we always put things off til later?!<\/p>
