I didn't see where anyone mentioned Danish on this thread. Although, I'm still learning how to navigate the site. I went to Denmark years ago and a legit Danish is absolutely amazing. I could smell it baking on our walk in the morning to the Danish bakery in Copenhagen. I tried several different kinds. My favorite was something similar to a baked good with layers like a croissant, but better. At the bottom it had warm gooey chocolate(but not a lot). It was so tasty.
Americans have no idea what a true Danish tastes like.
On a different note, French toast in my experience is amazing made with a Texas toast loaf slice of bread. But, you can't add too much milk or it will become soggy. Of course you have to add a bit of vanilla and cinnamon to the egg mixture.
