Stuffed French toast: Can breakfast get better than this?

If you love French toast for breakfast or brunch, we have a special recipe for you. This stuffed French toast recipe is everything you love about French toast but with added melt-in-the-mouth delicious ingredients.

Traditional French toast is a simple recipe of soaking a slice of bread in an egg-milk mixture and frying it in a pan. Serving it with a generous dollop of golden syrup usually makes this morning bite irresistible.

However, this recipe goes a step further by stuffing the French toast with peppers, ham and cheese, resulting in a melted gooey cheesy bite.
