This french toast was great debee. We enjoyed it very much. The directions were easy to follow and it all went together quickly. The bread was subtly sweet and firm just perfect. The cream cheese topping was delicious, semi-sweet, rich, thick and creamy. The sweet strawberries and the carmelized pecans were a perfect foil for the cream topping. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
