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.
