In a medium hot pan, fry each slice with 1t of oil until golden brown on each side. 4. Serve with bananas, berries, maple syrup, and some extra cinnamon!  *I used thick slices of sourdough so they soaked up more.

I layered the slices with bananas, and topped it off with blueberries and some good ol' Canadian maple syrup. It was amazing. After Church, we wanted to check out this weekend's Ottawa Eco-Expo , but got distracted on our way by the Trillium Bakery on Bank Street in Old Ottawa South. Th...
