Growing up, I could not resist a good French toast whenever we went out for breakfast. Its sort of the best of both worlds in my opinion, eggs, bread, and something sweet.
However, in college, weekend breakfasts served a different purpose and I strayed from my beloved French toast for anything with cheese.
But there is still a soft spot in my heart for French toast. This recipe is topped with all the delicious fruit winter has to offer. If you ask me, this French toast is the perfect breakfast for dinner meal. It’s basically dinner and dessert in one!
