French Toast Fingers

French Toast Fingers transform a breakfast favourite into a fun, dippable treat. A hint of orange zest brightens the egg mixture, while strawberry jam adds a touch of sweetness between slices. Cutting the sandwiches into strips before cooking ensures even golden-brown results and makes them easier for little hands to manage. These tasty fingers balance flavour and texture for brand new twist on traditional French toast.
