Valentine’s French Toast
Start your Valentine’s Day off to a great start by treating your loved one to a wonderful breakfast! Add your desired toppings to make this breakfast extra indulgent, or even make this as dessert after a wonderful dinner. Depending on the size of the hearts, the amount of bread that you’ll need will change. Mini hearts would make a romantic meal to share, or slice the bread into thick slices and have an indulgent breakfast for two.
