Honey French Toast with Macerated Berries

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Egg bread, extra egg yolks and half-and-half take a trusty diner classic to new levels of splurge. (Trust us, you won't regret going along for the ride.) Both the French toast and berries need to rest overnight, so this is an ideal make-ahead brunch dish. The recipe comes from The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook (University of Minnesota Press, $29.95).

Nuts About French Toast

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

You couldn't ask for an easier (and more crowd-pleasing) brunch dish than our nutty make-ahead French toast. Thanks to the sugary, butterscotch-y topping, you don't even need syrup. Balance the sweetness with a dollop of yogurt.
