There’s a reason they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and this French toast is that reason. This thing is good. Like really good! And it’s just as easy as regular French toast, just with a couple of twists. By adding in some cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract, you add another dimension to this simple dish that gives it a gourmet feel. We even like to sub out the milk for a cream or homemade almond milk to make it extra special. Top that gorgeous custardy bread with some powdered sugar, maple syrup and fresh berries for an excellent breakfast to kickstart an excellent day.
