Add this French toast recipe to your holiday morning repertoire. It's a fancier version of this humble, homey breakfast, draped as it is with cinnamon-spiced pears and cranberries and topped with a dollop of vanilla yogurt. We call for oatmeal bread in this recipe, for a more sophisticated, festive toast. You could substitute a cinnamon nut bread or an earthy seeded slice, too. Experiment with what you have on hand. Swap in apple for the pears and raisins for the cranberries, or nutmeg or allspice for the cinnamon. French toast offers a culinary blank canvas, so create away. Just remember to serve the toast hot.
