I like having lemon balance out the sweetness in desserts so this just seemed like a great combo. For French Toast I really like using a good brioche bread, I feel like a thick slice of bread works best without getting too soggy and flat. The glaze would be great on pancakes or waffles as well. I also like putting it on a slice of toast.
