Decoration Tips: For an even more impressive presentation, serve the French toast on a fine china plate and garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and a few sprigs of fresh mint. If seasonal fruits are available, add slices of strawberries or whole blueberries for a pop of color and a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors. Drizzle with a little maple syrup or honey for that final touch of decadence.
