SIMPLE SWAP, A great way to add a twist to your favorite French toast recipe is to simply use different breads. Try day-old banana, Apple, zucchini or pumpkin bread. Don't forget to slice up cinnamon-raisin bread or even loaves dotted with chocolate chips. You can even slice a few croissants and substitute them for the bread. When in a pinch, try leftover hot dog or hamburger buns.
