MANILA, Philippines — Last November 28 was the National French Toast Day.
You can celebrate such a delicious breakfast treat by cooking up some French Toast and enjoy them today — and any day for that matter. You can use any type of bread to make French toast. Just slice it, dip it in a mixture of basically milk and beaten eggs, fry it on both sides, and you’re good to go.
My version here uses flavored Ube bread and French baguette.
