I had some trouble getting the French toast to cook evenly. I think I may have used too much butter in the pan.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of strawberries, so I used raspberries instead. It was still delicious!
