Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Adding the Raspberry Lemon Flavor
While cooking, sprinkle fresh raspberries on top of the French toast during the last minute of cooking, allowing them to soften slightly. This enhances their flavor and integrates the tartness into the dish.
