Bread, butter, eggs…you can never go wrong with a delectable French toast, especially when it has a cheerful twist or two.

03 Method

Step 1

Cut bread into 24 (3/4-inch-thick) diagonal slices. Whisk together eggs and next 5 ingredients until well blended.
Step 2

Place bread slices in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish; pour egg mixture evenly over slices. Let stand 30 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
Step 3

Remove bread slices from egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Cook bread slices, in batches, in a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side or until golden.
Step 4

Place bread slices on baking sheets; keep warm in a 200°F oven. Cook Champagne in a large saucepan over high heat until reduced by half. Gradually stir in syrup; cook over low heat until blended and warm.
Step 5

Arrange bread slices on serving plates; top with raspberries, blueberries and, if desired, cream cheese. Drizzle evenly with syrup mixture. Garnish, if desired.
