French Toast Maple Breakfast Poutine

Maple French Toast Breakfast Poutine

Did Somebody Say Poutine for Breakfast?!

You read that right – there’s a new take on poutine. It’s full of french toast and maple syrup! How Canadian is that?

Don’t worry instead of classic French fries, we’ve taken deep-fried French toast sticks soaked them in a maple cream sauce topped with fresh berries and maple whipped cream.
