PARTNER POST: We’ve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Mother’s Day and all spring long.
This weekend, dig into this warm, gooey, gruyere-filled French toast served with raspberry preserves.
Going out to breakfast sounds nice. Pre-child, John and I used to go out to breakfast a lot. Now we don’t. Myles is in the “grab everrrrrrything he sees” phase so it makes for a difficult eating time. This kid has the strongest grip. Even his doctor laughed out loud commenting on how strong he is. By the way he’s crawling. Yes, ladies and gentleman I have a crawler at 7 months old. I mean, I know I’m bias but this little guy is really smart and a really fast learner. He loves to dance and sing with me and I swear this kid can already understand a beat. He is the happiest, most energetic baby.
Let’s get back to breakfast and how you don’t need to go out to breakfast this Mother’s Day either. 
Because I have this for you: it’s warm, gooey, gruyere cheese-filled French toast smothered in salted butter and beautiful raspberry preserves. I may or may not be salivating as I type this out.
With this French toast, we get both savory and sweet my indecisive friends, and it IS HEAVEN.
It’s the perfect weekend breakfast.
It’s the perfect breakfast to make your mom.
Or you.
Or a lady you love that means a lot to you.
Or yourself. You should treat yo-self.
Speaking of treat-yo self…

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of bread works best for the Gruyere and Raspberry French Toast?
A thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah is ideal for this recipe, as it will hold up well when soaked in the egg mixture.
How do I ensure the Gruyere cheese melts properly during cooking?
Make sure to slice the Gruyere cheese thinly and place it between two slices of bread, allowing it to melt evenly as the French toast cooks on medium heat.
Can I use a different type of fruit preserve instead of raspberry?
Yes, you can substitute the raspberry preserves with other fruit preserves like strawberry or apricot, depending on your preference.
