All you need is a few ingredients and 10 mins for a decadent dessert!

French toast—originally known as “pain perdu” or lost bread—was a sublime solution in medieval Europe to breathe new life into stale bread. This Cinnamon French Toast Bubble Up is a playful and contemporary twist on the time-honored classic, making use of buttermilk biscuits for convenience and a novel texture. It’s a delightful recipe that transforms simple ingredients into something special for a cozy weekend brunch or a festive holiday breakfast. The use of buttermilk biscuits injects a Southern flair into this dish, which reflects the beauty of American culinary amalgamation—borrowing from European roots and adopting Southern charm.
To complement the sweetness of the Cinnamon French Toast Bubble Up, consider serving it with savory sides such as crispy bacon or sausage patties. For a lighter option, a fresh fruit salad with berries, orange segments, and a hint of mint provides a refreshing counterpoint. A dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup are lovely embellishments for those who prefer extra indulgence.
