Pear French Toast

This classic but elegant french toast is rich and flavorful, and a few small upgrades makes it the best ever! Absolutely delicious treat.

For me, the best french toast must be thick and fluffy, have great flavor, and be piled high with lots of great toppings.

This delicious treat has all the bits, rum pear vanilla, greek yoghurt mascarpone with raspberry compote and fresh, raspberries, and blueberries with a sprinkling of almonds and walnuts.
