Christmas Morning Gingerbread Coffee Syrup & Creme Brulee French Toast
This is a fun and delicious breakfast to have on Christmas morning. You can prep the french toast the night before so in the morning you can pop it in the oven while the Christmas morning fun and chaos ensues. And the coffee syrup doesn’t take much time but you can also prep that the night before. This is so delicious and I can’t wait for you to try it!
