Marjan's Medley- Biscotti French Toast and Rolled Crepes with Honey Marscapone

This recipe is dedicated to my lovely sister Marjan!
Biscotti has been a traditional Italian Classic. Back in the day, it was useful for sailors at sea who depended on long preserved foods. Biscotti is the term for twice baked, which results in its hard bite. What if we soaked the biscotti in a french toast batter for an hour? The result was great! The Honey marscapone adds a rich smooth flavor to the delicate rolled crepes topped off with cranberry fig syrup.
