During a recent stay in Scottsdale, I had breakfast at the hotel a couple of times and on one visit ordered French toast. The toast itself was fairly ordinary, but it was crowned with a generous spoonful of mascarpone cheese that changed everything. That creamy addition elevated the whole dish—something I hadn’t experienced with French toast before and immediately loved.
That memorable breakfast inspired this recipe, adapted with a playful donut twist in honor of National Donut Day: French toast–style donuts topped with mascarpone and a fresh strawberry drizzle. Below you’ll find the full recipe and method so you can recreate these at home.
