French Toast To Die For
On Sunday mornings, I love having French Toast for breakfast. Usually, I use wheat or rice bread. However, I recently happened to have some sourdough French baguette in the kitchen and thought I’d try making french toast with it. One thing led to another as I eyed the smoked salmon and goat cheese in the frig… et Voilà! “French Toast To Die For” was born!
