The blend of flavours was good. I think next time I would be tempted to add an additional layer of raisin bread, and up the eggs and milk. I used sausage flavoured with apples, so the addition of the apple high-lighted the sausage flavour too. I might slice the sausage thinner next time but the additional raisin bread layer may help. Overall a unique meal that I allowed my young sons to put maple syrup on, which they loved.

I love the idea of this, but in the end I couldn't really taste anything but the eggs. Next time I would add some cinnamon/sugar to the apples when I cook them. And I'll use a different cheese like Montery Jack. I toasted my bread first a bit and that got rid of any soggyness (I learned to do that with any recipe with bread and eggs in the oven a while ago). Baked for 40 minutes. All in all this set up and looked beautiful and was tastey. I'll try it again with the changes. Thanks for a great idea Lorac!
