Who feels like brunching hard this weekend?

We can start right here with THIS pretty little french toast. And that alone would be awesome, but what about we elevate it juuuust a tad and add in a TOPPINGS BAR? Sorry, didn't mean to yell, but I can get excited about the little things in life;)

So here is a list of 11 fun toppings. (psssst, you may want to save this post for the holidays *wink)

Topping Ideas:

• Fruit Preserves: Heat your favorites over slow/medium heat until they're runny, then pour over top toast. Sprinkle a bit of confectioners' sugar

• Flavored Sugar: Try sprinkling freshly made french toast with Vanilla Sugar or Lemon Sugar. You can also mix a bit of the flavored sugar into the raw eggs & milk before dipping bread.

• Fruit: Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, bananas, strawberries

• Butter-ish: Apple butter, Nutella, almond butter, creamy peanut butter, all the butter!

• Nuts: walnuts, pecans. candied nuts

• Whipped cream

• Lemon Curd

• Sautéed apples

• Powdered Sugar

• Bacon, crumbled 

• and of course….Maple syrup

Simply make the French toast, pile it high on a platter, and arrange a few of these toppings along the side. Add a mimosa….and you have the start to a great day.
