Creme Brûlée French Toast
Another weekend, another Sunday Funday Brunch! For this weekends Sunday brunch we decided to go with something sweet since we have done savory the past couple of weekends. This dish definitely did not disappoint either!
It was also another amazingly beautiful weekend at the Jersey shore! We have had the greatest weather this summer, and every weekend has been filled with so much fun and good foods! Today I woke up extra early so I could get this dish prepared before we went to the beach! We popped some bubbly for mimosas to pair with this sweet dish, and then we went to the beach to enjoy the beautiful sun!
Keep on keeping up with our Sunday Brunches on our Instagram!
