MINNEAPOLIS, Minn — I have always made my French toast with crusty old French bread or with your typical whole grain slice, but once I discovered the Brioche loaf... it was a game changer!
I also am an advocate for homemade whipped cream, and why not sweeten it with some local Minnesota Maple syrup?
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
