This was one of my first college “gourmet” specialties; caramelized French toast (Step one: drench French toast in sugar; Step two: add more sugar). Since that time, I have a lessened the sugar and like to add some fresh fruit to give some natural sweetness. It is a weekend favorite and super easy to make!
