What a treat this was! An easy fix that's creamy rich & buttery, almost like eating dessert for breakfast! I made 2 servings as written & IMO it would be a little messy for really little ones to eat. I found it easier to eat w/a fork than to dip in the syrup mixture, but maybe cooking them more crispy than I did works best. Many options come to mind ~~ like using bananas w/the syrup if you lacked strawberries *or* dusting w/powd sugar if you lacked the jam *or* using whipped cream topping w/choc sprinkles. Thx for sharing this great recipe w/us. :-)

I chose this recipe as a "thank you for a lovely valentine's dinner" brunch. But I did make a few changes. Used fat free milk, fat free cream cheese, "bare bread" by h e b. Toasted the bread on lowest toaster setting to dry it out slightly. Also, I sprinkled a little cinnamon on the strawberries. The jam and syrup combo sounded as if it would over power the strawberries with sweetness so I didn't do that! Instead I lightly drizzled half a Tbs of chocolats syrup over each sandwich half. And topped each half with half a strawberry.

Yummy! Very Good, I added cinnamon to the egg mixture and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top with butter! Delicious, thanks!

FANTASTIC! Nice twist. Used wheat bread. Next time I will chop strawberries.

This was wonderful French toast that I served up with a nice batch of scrambled eggs! Made the toast with a heavy winter wheat bread instead of the white, then combined the jam with white corn syrup which I like on pancakes/waffles from time to time! Really OUTSTANDING in taste & prep simplicity! Definitely a keeper! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
