This French Toast recipe from Barefoot Contessa is incredibly decadent. It’s as good as any French Toast I’ve had in a restaurant. My kids loved it. I usually choose between jam or syrup when eating French Toast, but this time I tried it with both. I used Kirkland Signature Pure Maple Syrup and my homemade strawberry freezer jam. I usually don’t buy white bread, but went all out and bought some Brioche bread for this recipe. I’m going to try it with wheat bread as well and see how it is.
My kids love having breakfast for dinner. I try to make breakfast for dinner once a week. It’s usually easier and it’s always a crowd pleaser. Give this recipe a try! You won’t be disappointed.
