A Sprinkle of This and That: Croissant French Toast

This is a judge free zone, right?

I totally went there!

Croissant French Toast

with

Cherry Almond Sauce

It's the season of decadence!

We eat cookie and cakes and lots of yummy appetizers, so why shouldn't breakfast be special too?

I see no reason? Croissant French Toast with Cherry Almond Sauce is kind of like a pie. But, I always think pie at breakfast is aok, especially when there is fruit involved. :) Who's with me on that one? Besides, it really isn't a pie...it's french toast. So, it's breakfast. No question there! I think I am totally confusing myself. Just go with it. It must be the decadence of this breakfast? Anyhow, Croissant French Toast with Cherry Almond Sauce is a holiday breakfast to remember! Besides, any weight gained during the holidays doesn't count. Just hide it under your heavy winter coat and deal with it in January. At least that's what I am gonna do and I know you are with me because we have established this area as a judge free zone.

So, let's get to it!

Take those ordinary croissants and "holiday"ize 'em!

4 large croissant

3 eggs

2/3 cup milk
