this Recipe!

Oh man this French Toast Parfait is good! My original idea was to just make a simple parfait of pound cake, whipped cream, and Easy Fruit Salad. Then I was like ... why not make this pound cake into french toast!? This French Toast Parfait turned out way better than I expected!

This would be a perfect brunch recipe! I LOVE any combination of fruit, whipped cream, and yellow cake.

I didn't make the pound cake (it is a Sara Lee). The whipped cream is homemade though! If you make french toast out of the cake no one would ever notice it's not homemade (or care).

How do you make french toast? Easy:

1. Slice the bread or pound cake into 1" slices.
2. Mix together an egg, milk, cinnamon, and some salt in a bowl.
3. Melt some butter in a skillet over medium high heat.
4. Dip the bread into the egg mixture and fry in the pan on both sides.

Yum. Fried bread is the best! Here is the full recipe:
