Most days I wake up craving a savory breakfast of eggs, bacon and fruit. But every once in awhile I crave something sweet! French toast always hits the spot! It’s also super easy to clean up from the norm. It doesn’t have to be drenched in artificial maple syrup to taste good, I promise! This is one of our favorite combos. The crunchiness from the bread makes or breaks it. I don’t recommend using anything other than Dave’s Killer thinly sliced power seed bread for this recipe. Its dense yet light and makes the perfect french toast!
