What should I serve as a side?
This recipe is sweet and savory all in one and can be served completely by itself.
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.
What type of bread should I use?
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.
Brioche and challah are wonderful choices for this recipe, too.
