Yes, French toast is wonderful as a sweet breakfast dish — but it  doesn’t have to be sweet, and for that matter, it doesn’t have to be just for breakfast. Today’s recipe adds parmesan cheese, garlic and pepper flavors to the classic bread and eggs, then tops the toast with green salad and poached eggs. This dish would make a great supper. It comes to us from the Maine Stay Inn & Cottages in Kennebunkport, where you can stay in a historic 1860 house (or retreat to a private cottage), explore the town, and of course enjoy a gourmet breakfast every day.
