We have given the famous French Toast a Greek spin by using ingredients that are featured in a traditional Baklava- walnuts, cinnamon, ground cloves, honey and a dash of fresh lemon juice- creating an ideal Saturday or Sunday morning brunch!

I first shared this delicious recipe back in 2015, on my former food blog Flavours & Flair, and it was one of the most popular breakfast ideas by far. It even caught the eye of Hollywood A-lister Gwyneth Paltrow and her team over at goop!
