A Toast to the French

French Toast has to be one of my hands-down favorite foods. It's sweet, it's filling, and it soothes the soul in ways that an ordinary pancake or waffle simply cannot.

After years of eating and experimenting and eating some more, I still don't have a favorite recipe or bread type, as it always evolves depending on my current preferences.

From stuffed French Toast to a holiday version made with an eggnog-based batter, it's all good in my book. My "secret" variation on the traditional involves almond extract, and lately I'm quite partial to using a fresh Challah loaf for the bread.

How about you? What bread do you prefer? Do you have a favorite variation or recipe? Let me know, as I'd love to try it!
