This just sounded soooooo good!! I had to make it to see what it was all about. My kids loved it! Who wouldn't with all that yummy caramel flavor! I wouldn't recommend making this more than once a year, as it could be quite addicting which in turn would make it very fattening! But for an occasional breakfast, yummy!
The Original Recipe:
I found this on my favorite recipe website. I had a french toast casserole at a friends house which prompted me to look for one on the internet until I recieved her recipe by email. I will be making hers for our Christmas breakfast this year, and posting once I do.

4 large eggs
2-1/2 c. milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ c. butter or margarine, melted
