Mother's Day Breakfast - French Toast Stuffed With Brie and Fig Jam!

Mother's Day is the one day you should sit back and put your feet up and not worry about anything, including calories! I don't know about you, but I cook all year round for the family and so on Mother's Day, they cook for me. I provide the recipes and the family does all of the work... I love it! This is a delicious splurge and an easy enough recipe for even a non-cook!
