Recently, I was sent a bottle of La Marca Prosecco to test out – and how could I pass up the opportunity to make delicious mimosas for brunch?

La Marca Prosecco hails from the Veneto region of Italy that is quite clean and refreshing to the palate. We paired it with some mango juice, but it’s especially tasty with elderflower liqueur (check out the recipe below).

I made brunch for my family and we like our brunch staples: french toast, breakfast potatoes, breakfast sausage, bacon and scrambled eggs. I love making my french toast with raisin bread, I usually add less sugar and cinnamon to my batter!

Method:
1. Beat all ingredients (except bread of course) in a large bowl.
