Now! This is French Toast...the Best I Have Ever Made

Baby Kato's Note:

Wow, are you in for a treat, this is so good. My friend introduced me to the Italian Dessert Bread/Cake, il Pandoro by Battistero. It is wonderful, so delicious, light and airy.When this lovely treat dried out, I made French toast with it. Am I ever glad that I did, this is one of the best tasting French toasts I have ever tried. I am really hoping that you will enjoy this simple treat. Bon Appetite.

I managed to get Pandoro (although by Battistero) through Amazon.com so was able to make this French toast about as accurately as I could! I even served it with the sprinkling of powdered sugar, which isn't something I normally include! Absolutely wonderful & satisfying breakfast, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

French toast is one of my favorite breakfast foods and this is the best French toast recipe that I have tried. The flavor is exceptional all on its own without the usual extras that we have on french toast. Bk thank you for a great recipe. This was made for a prize for Top Favorites of 2009.

Wonderful french toast!!! I couldn't find the Italian dessert bread/cake, so subbed regular Italian bread and then had to sub a vanilla creamer, as it was what I had on hand and need to use up. I used 3 eggs and 1/3 cup creamer and I was making this for the three of us. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for Photo Tag!!
