    Sharing is caring!

    Breakfast is the key to life. A healthy breakfast can set the tone for the entire day. My Cherry Blackberry Balsamic Brioche French Toast is fun to make, stuffed with Lantana Cherry hummus, and drizzled in a warm, blackberry balsamic sauce. Pin this recipe to make again and again!

    I don’t know about you guys, but I get hangry when I don’t have breakfast. I literally have to be reminded by my husband to eat too because I wake up, make coffee, and get straight to work. (Must be the workaholic in me) but if I’m not reminded to eat breakfast, I’ll forget and then by the time 2pm rolls around I’m hangry times a thousand and am like the character in Little Shop of Horrors Feed Me Seymour. Yeah you know the one.

    I was super excited when Lantana asked me to feature their delicious fruit hummus in some recipes. Fruit hummus? I’m all over that! Any excuse to mix dessert with breakfast please. Can I get an amen? You won’t forget to eat breakfast with my delicious, easy Cherry Blackberry Balsamic Brioche French Toast. Sounds fancy? It’s fancy, but easy to make and tastes divine. It’s one of those meals that will transport you to a fancy restaurant or a an epic vacation day.

    Picture this: You’re sitting on a warm beach, feeling the sand between your toes, and drinking a glorious cup of coffee. You look down at your plate and see this beautiful french toast stuffed with Lantana Cherry Fruit Hummus and topped with blackberries, cherries, and homemade whipped cream. Sounds divine.

    I did a poll recently Instagram stories on which Saturday feel-good-morning breakfast is a must-make and I think we can all agree that French toast is in the top three. What I love about Lantana’s Fruit Hummus is it can go on literally anything. Want to add mix sweet and savory together? Spread it over crackers. Want to spice up your morning coffee? Mix a heaping scoop of Lantana Cherry Hummus into your coffee with cream or almond milk and blend it up in the blender. So yummy! Don’t knock it until you try it because it’s surprisingly tasty!

    I love foods that have the surprise factor to them. Fruit hummus is one of those foods. Lantana comes in all different flavors and for the savory folks, don’t worry, Lantana has an entire lineup of savory hummus that I can’t wait to try!

    Have a chickpea allergy? The best part about Lantana is all of their hummus flavors are made with other beans, vegetables and fruit (not chickpeas). They are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher.

    With the holidays in full swing, I’m sure you have family visiting or you are visiting family. Before you travel, make a big batch of my Cherry Blackberry Balsamic Brioche French Toast. It freezes really well and can be reheated on the griddle or in the oven. Breakfast leftovers anyone?

    Comment below and tell me if you’ve tried fruit hummus and which Lantana flavor you are most excited about!
