Description

Make restaurant quality french toast at home with 6 simple ingredients.  Milk, egg, cinnamon, vanilla, brioche bread, and sugar are the basis.  A touch of heavy cream adds a slightly richer creaminess and can also be used for an easy maple whipped cream. If you garnish  with a couple berries for that pop of color, it'll make your friends ask..."what restaurant am I in?"
