About


This is not you average French Toast recipe.  Fresh French Bread, brown sugar and your favorite fruits baked together in a breakfast casserole that is as beautiful as it is tasty.  This is a special occasion breakfast recipe that you can also make ahead of time.  I selected this recipe to serve my mother this Mother’s Day morning and it was a hit with Mom and my daughters. 
If you are not a fruit and berry lover, you can also skip the fruit and use maple syrup instead.  When you remove from oven, sprinkle powdered sugar over maple syrup.  Enjoy!  www.lunch-wagon.com
