Stuffed French toast is a staple at many of Toronto's best brunch restaurants. If you aren't already impressed with plain 'ol French toast these joints take it to the next level by stuffing eggy bread with everything from peameal bacon to cheesecake.

Here are are my picks for the most epic French toast offerings you can eat in Toronto right now.
