A French Toast Recipe as part of your gourmand repertoire is definitely a most! I absolutely love a great, well executed French toast, it has to involve a good quality bread, the end result has to have a crispy crust on the outside and be moist in the inside, the custardy mixture must pack some good flavour, otherwise is just a bland toast. Hope you will become a fan of French toast, just as I am!
