The flavor was yummy, but the bread did turn out a little hard. I warmed the cream cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds and used a hand mixer and didnt have any lumps in my batter. I would make this again, but my just try using a frying pan instead of baking.

This is an easy recipe and it tastes delicious. Yes, the batter is lumpy, but does not effect the taste. The only caution I have is that I had to bake mine twice as long as the recipe indicated! 15 mins (at 425) on one side then turn, cook another 15 mins, then I still cooked another 5 minutes on the broil setting to brown it up a tiny bit.

This recipe was out of this world! Great for special occasions! The batter was lumpy, not sure if I didn't beat if well enough or because the cream cheese was still too cold. Either way even with the lumps it was the best french toast I have ever had. After baking it for 10 minutes, I decided to finish it on my griddle. I wanted it to make sure that top browned like the picture shown.
