French toast is such a simple recipe. Eggs, milk, bread. It’s an easy and impressive breakfast to whip up. It’s just that…it’s so….basic. Time to change it up! Time to be innovative, creative, and game changing in, well…the french toast game. Time to get pumped up about french toast. Why? Because you haven’t even begun to grasp the amazingness of the stacks of soggy-egged-bready goodness like these recipes have to offer!

1. Pecan Pie French Toast

YES! Pie for breakfast! Legit breakfast! Not the kind where you sneak bites of leftover pie and then call it breakfast. Loopholes of life, my friends.
