A family breakfast or brunch is a relaxed time to savor on weekends, a time to cook up something rather special.
Honey Custard French Toast will serve 6, but can still be prepared in about 25 minutes -- and will probably be eaten up in even less time. The toast is flavored with a touch of cinnamon and a sprinkling of chopped pecans.
