Cherry Cheesecake French Toast

Dessert for breakfast? Oui s’il vous plait! Spoil yourself with this luxurious stack of Cherry Cheesecake French Toast. We start by using Lifeway Kefir in the batter to give the French Toast a fluffy, buttery center. This is already amazing, but then we go ahead and take it a step further. With Lifeway Farmer Cheese, we create a probiotic-packed cheesecake spread, taking this breakfast to new heights. We add maraschino cherries for their signature sweet-sour flavor and drizzle a little maple syrup on top to bring it to perfection.

Several studies have shown a strong association between the gut-brain-microbiota. Probiotics introduced to the gut have been found to support immunityimprove allergies, and improve digestion.

Studies have shown that reduced diversity of healthy gut bacteria during early years is associated with an increase in food allergies during school-age years. In addition, kefir made from whole milk helps absorb key nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamin K is important because it helps your bones absorb calcium. It’s important to know that kefir contains a special trio: vitamin D, K, and calcium – all three crucial elements to support bone health.
