French toast is a simple breakfast staple, but it doesn't have to be boring. Ditch the maple syrup with Chef Fabio's Italian twist on this morning favorite, stuffed with creamy mascarpone and drizzled with a quickly made blueberry compote. This dish is perfect for a lazy brunch with the family or for special guests, such as Cristina Ferrare of Hallmark Channel's "Home & Family."
