French toast is breakfast comfort food at its finest, and this version is even more invitingly light and fluffy than usual since it relies on egg whites to form the bread's coating, replacing the usual, heavier yolks. This recipe calls for frozen berries but you can certainly use fresh ones when they’re in season. Be sure to warm the berry sauce before spooning it across the hot toast. French toast just isn't as tasty once it's cooled. The warmed sauce is also delicious made with sliced fresh peaches and preserves. Another great substitution requiring minimal effort is swapping the vanilla extract for almond extract and finishing your platter of berry-topped toast with a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds.
