Stuffed French Toast
This delicious recipe was initially shared during the Christmas season. It’s great for Christmas breakfast, etc…but the truth is, this is great for brunch anytime of year. This recipe has two variations: 1) sweet stuffed with lemon cream cheese and 2 savory stuffed with scrambled eggs and bacon. Honestly, both ways are amazing and we can never get decide around my house which is our favorite!
