Then we made it at home recently and for the first time ever thought oh my God THIS is French toast.  Was it that we&#8217;d never had it this fresh before?  Was it the brioche?  Is it because we&#8217;re in isolation and miss everything that once felt effortlessly accessible?  How could it be this easy?  I don&#8217;t use this word lightly, so I really mean it when I say this is the <em>best<\/em> French toast we&#8217;ve ever had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We weren&#8217;t seeking to make French toast, rather I was searching for sliced bread on Amazon and found that Whole Foods had <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+G0Fqw7cwp1YpRgeR5mjUmA\" target=\"_blank\">this brioche<\/a> available for delivery.  My intention was that we could make some decadent PB&amp;J sandwiches with this, but Oleg&#8217;s first thought was we gotta make French toast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a combination of learning about the basics of what goes into French toast and working with what we had in our kitchen to make this as easy as possible, this became what was unanimously decided by us both as the best thing we made at home during quarantine (and we&#8217;ve been making a LOT of things during this time).  I feel so positively different about French toast now and don&#8217;t know if I could ever order it again knowing how good and simple it is to have at home.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div
