About this Recipe

The only thing better than French toast is French toast in muffin form. Oh, plus a streusel topping that’s packed with cinnamon and pecans. This recipe comes together with all the usual suspects and the key is to cube up the bread before tossing all of the ingredients together. Press the mixture into the wells in the muffin tin and load ‘em up with a streusel topping. Just press the green button to bake in Brava and consider brunch handled.
