Weekend Breakfast

The best breakfasts are served on the weekend.  No school. No rushing. No appointments. No worries.

Prepare this recipe suitable to your tastes and quantity needed.

Stuffed French Toast

Eggs
Milk
Cinnamon
Vanilla extract
Brown sugar (not pictured)
French toast bread or "Texas Toast" (apparently everything is bigger in Texas)
Cream cheese, softened
Sliced strawberries and bananas (or any other fruit you fancy)



Spread a little (or a lot) or cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread.  Place sliced fruit on top of cream cheese.  Close, strawberries on top of bananas, and press down to flatten just a bit.


Dredge in the egg mixture on all sides of the bread and grill as usual. I always sprinkle on extra cinnamon because I'm slightly obsessed with cinnamon.


Flip. I tried to grill these at a lower temp so that they would be heated all the way through.  This was my first time making stuffed French toast, so I haven't decided if I know exactly what I'm doing yet.


Slice in half, dust with powdered sugar (because I'm slightly obsessed with powdered sugar), and additional strawberries. Or not. It's your breakfast.


Yum.




Next time I won't use bananas because I've realized that I do not like warm bananas.  Trial and error, ya'll.

  1. That looks so amazingly delicious. Breakfast food is my favorite. I'm happy to eat it any time of the day, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm just sad I can't have a taste right now. Great pictures too. They really make it look beautiful.

  5. That looks really good. I will have to try that soon. I wonder if putting a lid over the french toast would help heat it all the way through?
