French toast is a popular breakfast anywhere in the world and whatever season there is. But having it during the Fall when the air is brisk and the leaves are turning yellow somehow completes the concept of a cozy brunch at home or in a vacation cabin. What makes it more special is the idea of adding caramel to it -- another flavor that reminds us of Autumn.
