french toast cups with orange sauce
(3 ratings)
My husband and I went to a bed and breakfast in Asheville, NC for our anniversary a couple of years ago. The owners served fantastic breakfasts, and I especially loved a french toast casserole they served. But as with most of those recipes, you have to prepare them a day ahead. So I came up with this quick way to enjoy this treat--I personally think the secret's in the sauce!
