French Toast FEVER

Once upon a time French toast was served pretty plain, made with egg-dipped bread that had been fried and then smothered in pancake syrup. But these days, the options are limitless from using a variety of breads to dipping batters, making it one of America's favorite breakfast foods. Here are a few French-toast making ideas:

– Challah bread, croissants, even slices of pound cake make great foundations for a special French toast.

– Make a French toast sundae just by cooking up a plain recipe but slicing the bread on the diagonal and adding several pieces of cut fruit and a dollop of whipped cream.

– Using 1-inch slices of crusty Italian bread, cut pockets through the top of the slice and add pieces of chocolate and nuts before dipping and frying.

– Use eggnog as the dipping batter for intense vanilla and buttery flavor.
