French Toast Cups
Golden baked French toast cups made from thick bread slices pressed into muffin tins, filled with fresh berries, lightly spiced with cinnamon and vanilla, then dusted with powdered sugar and finished with maple syrup. Crisp on the edges, soft and custardy in the center, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
