LEMON-VANILLA FRENCH TOAST
Decadent? Yes! Sweet? Yes! Tasty? Yes! I just whipped this up this morning. I love things lemon, and it has to be sweet. None of that tartness, no thank you. This is something fun to make Sunday morning. Some kids may not like the lemon flavoring, but the sweetness may be an attraction.

Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for the French toast. A thick, sturdy bread will hold up better to the stuffing and won't get soggy.
- Make sure the cream cheese mixture is cold before you spread it on the bread. This will help to prevent it from melting and making the French toast greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will help to ensure that the toast cooks evenly.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. This could include syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
