Baked Pineapple French Toast
Pineapples are one of my favorite fruits. My love for them started with my big mama’s pineapple upside down cakes which were quite the treat to say the least. Since my love began, I have tried them in everything from smoothies to pizza. However, this baked pineapple french toast recipe using Safest Choice Eggs is a first.
