Breaded croutons stuffed with berries

3 servings

15 minutes

Berry-stuffed French toast sticks in batter are a true delight of American cuisine, combining the softness of bread with the rich flavor of berries and aromatic notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. This recipe originated as a variation of classic French toast but gained its individuality by adding fresh berries to crispy, golden slices. The egg and banana batter adds a special tenderness, while yogurt with honey completes the composition, creating a balance between sweetness and freshness. The toast is perfect for a cozy breakfast or dessert, bringing warmth and joy to each serving.
