Savory French Toast BLTs

May 5, 2010 by 3 Comments

We are french toast FANATICS in my house. The teenager has said to me more than once that when she comes home from college it is going to be to see me and her dad and to eat some of my homemade french toast. (Not necessarily in that order, I’m guessing, but she is too sweet to put it that way.)

Anyway, I am always trolling for new french toast recipes and up until now they have all been variations on the sweet breakfast version. Until the other day, when I ran across this one, which is definitely a dinner version. It’s the same basic concept — bread soaked in egg and fried — but oh, man…this time with chives and fresh ground pepper in the egg, and with a BLT topping.

I am getting heart palpitations just reliving it.

I don’t think I have anything more to say about this one, except, please go make it right now, so you understand what I am talking about.

    I am not a big fan of French Toast because they are just way too sweet for me but this savory recipe is one that I could definitely stand behind!
