A sweet, simple take on traditional French Toast with lemon zest and poppy seeds – almost like a key lime pie and a french toast had a baby. Adding key lime zest to the custard mix adds so much zing to this dish that you’ll want it in your summer breakfast rotation.

I recommend serving it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, as well as a small bit of blackberry jam for a sweet and tart bite of goodness.

This recipe makes enough for two servings, so you can increase the servings as needed or scale it down for a single serving.
