Family Brunch just got “berry eggciting”! A fun and healthy way to serve up “egglicious” French toast and mixed berries, Panzanella style. There's even yogurt in the egg batter. The finished dish has toasted French toast cubes, crunchy granola, sticky maple glaze, almonds, and fresh berries. I buy Eggland's Best eggs because it’s important to me to serve my family healthy, nutritional eggs that yield the most vitamins, less saturated fat and provide the best flavor to our family dishes.
