Perfect French Toast with Fresh Figs

Craving something sweet?  I am usually a savoury person myself,  but once in awhile I crave something delightfully sweet.  These are one of those recipes to satisfy that craving.   French toast makes a delicious breakfast, or brunch meal. There are a wide variety of ways to make it but this is my favourite and simple recipe. Its a great start to anyone’s day and can look fancy! You can make it with any type of dense bread. Here I have topped it up with fresh figs and maple syrup. You can also use fresh berries, bacon, or even bananas and whipped cream.  So go ahead and indulge your senses, you will be glad you did. Have a great weekend!
