French Toast, the adversary of pancakes in the battle of breakfasts and brunches across the world. I am definitely being dramatic. Well, at least the battle extends across my dining table. I love French Toast. Its something that can be accessorized with a variety of fruit, nuts, drizzles, and fairy dust like powdered sugar. It no far stretch to consider adding a bit of Italian lemon liqueur to the mix. Boozing up breakfast is chic. Its the high heels of brunch and of course I am wearing them; with nowhere to go but my living room. Just full, fancy and french toasted.

- Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, coating both sides.
