Special Notes
This decadent French toast is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. The combination of cream cheese, berries, and egg-soaked bread creates a rich, satisfying dish that's both sweet and creamy. The key is to not over-soak the bread to prevent it from becoming mushy. It's a great way to turn ordinary French toast into something truly special.
