Just a little side of fruit, some baked bacon, sausage or scrambled eggs would all be nice additions If you’re looking for something to ad to it.

French toast can really be made with whatever kind of bread that you’d like.

I’ve even made it with cinnamon raisin bread and sliced day old donuts.

I used classic white bread because that’s what I had on hand.
