French Toast


Instead of using butter as a lubricant for the cooking surface, I instead cook the french toast in the same pan in which I previously cook bacon. This provides extra flavor in bite. French toast is wonderful with a side of strawberries or melon.

Ingredients
  • 8 pieces white bread (or challah)
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 8 pieces bacon
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • powdered sugar (optional)
  • maple syrup to taste (optional)
Break the eggs and combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Fry the bacon on a flat surfaced grill pan. Once the bacon is fully cooked, blot the bacon with a paper towel and place the pieces in an oven heated to 290 degrees.

Dip the pieces of bread in the egg mixture and, without cleaning off the pan, put the bread on the same surface. Cook the bread for about 3-5 minutes per side. Add the powdered sugar and syrup.

Serve with the bacon and enjoy! You can preserve and scramble any leftover eggs at a later date.
