Cranberry Pear French Toast with Vanilla Cream Sauce

Do you have a special dish you make on Christmas morning? My husband always makes cinnamon buns but this year we’ll be adding a few new recipes to the menu!

When Jo-Anna from A Pretty Life organized this Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas I knew I had to share one of our favorites. French Toast is hands down my favorite breakfast food ever. And eggs. And cereal. And my baked oatmeal.

Okay, I admit, I love any and all breakfast foods. And after discovering this Caramel French Toast that literally takes 10 minutes to make the night before, I’ve been drawn to all French Toast recipes.

So when I saw this Cranberry Pear French Toast I knew I had to try it. My husband and daughter eat a huge bag of pears a week so I knew this would be a big hit. The sweet flavors of pear and the tart bursts of cranberries are the perfect combination with bread that’s perfectly seasoned with spices. Add a vanilla sauce and perfection!
