Cannoli French Toast

My mom would make this for breakfast on special occasions like Christmas, birthdays, and the first day of school. Now, I do the same thing for my own daughter, Ellie.  This is the recipe my mother always used, though I've heard this recipe has been made popular by Rachael Ray.  Either way, enjoy every bit of its tasty good-ness.
