Savory French Toast

Whew, what a crazy couple of weeks it’s been. I’d say I’m looking forward to relaxing this summer but really I’m not too sure that’s going to happen! At least not for a few more weeks.

I wish it was going to slow down sometime soon, but it doesn't really look like it. I wanted to get this post in before Fathers Day but that didn't happen! So I guess I will have to settle for the day after. This is really kind of a guys breakfast though! It's good though not as an every day breakfast but definitely good for special occasions! Actually just looking at these pictures is making me want to make this again, hmm what special occasions are coming up? Monday yeah that seems special enough!?! 

This bread makes the BEST French Toast!

Ingredients:

Thick Sliced French Bread

Eggs

Bacon, cooked

Sausage, cooked

Directions:

Heat a skillet over medium heat, coat with a cooking spray. In a pie dish scramble your eggs. Dip each slice of bread into the eggs, then place into the hot skillet, let cook until golden brown, flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. To serve place a slice of the French Toast on a plate then top with Bacon and Sausage, top all of that with another slice of the French Toast. Then add a pat of butter and syrup, or even powdered sugar would be good.

Enjoy

French Toast Balboa

Do you like French Toast? If you do than you are going to LOVE French Toast Balboa! It’s basically stuffed French Toast but it sounds all fancy schmancy if you call if French Toast Balboa! Whenever we go to visit my Mom in Pennsylvania, we go to this great hometown restaurant called the Brownstone. And they have this on their menu but you have to ask for the strawberries (it comes with blueberries which is good but strawberries are so yummy) since we don’t get back as often as I would like I had to come up with this recipe so I could have it whenever I wanted! I also added chocolate chips because well chocolate makes everything better J

 

Here's what you'll need:

Fresh Bread sliced (I used my artisan bread)

3-4 eggs, stirred

8 0z Cream Cheese

1tsp Vanilla

½ cup Sugar

Strawberries, sliced

Here’s how you make it:

Mix cream cheese, sugar, and Vanilla until combined. Heat a medium sized skillet on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Take the bread and dip both sides in the eggs, place them in the skillet and cook until golden brown.  With one slice turn it over and while the other side is cooking spread about 2TBSP of the Cream Cheese mixture over the toast, add the strawberries and chocolate chips. Cook one slice until golden brown on both sides. When both slices are golden brown place the plain French toast slice on top of the one with cream cheese and strawberries. Repeat these steps for each serving of French Toast!

ENJOY!
