French Toast Kebabs by Parade

We've always preferred small foods. Why go through the trouble of cutting something up if you could pop it in your mouth instead? This French toast kebab recipe made life so much easier by making it tiny and putting it on a stick so you won't have to get your hands dirty.

Savory French Toast by Pinch and Swirl

When you think of French toast, you probably imagine sugary flavors, but it doesn't have to be that way. Pinch and Swirl makes a good point—the dish is bread, eggs and milk. There's no reason for it not to be savory. This recipe adds cheese, pepper and leafy greens to turn your perception of French toast on its head.

Ube-Stuffed French Toast by Food52

If you've never had ube, you're missing out. It has a similar gourmand taste to taro (plus, both are purple). However, ube is less sweet, and that's why it would work so well in a French toast recipe—it won't make you sick to your stomach. For extra flair, Food52 even suggests adding coconut shavings.
