Breakfast for Dinner


We love our french toast, and I love BLTs! This is a super simple recipe and you can even use that rustic crusty bread from last nights dinner. This would also be good with country potatoes on the side! Thanks Martha!

Enjoy...

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for serving
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 slices crusty bread, cut 1 inch thick
  • 4 lettuce leaves (romaine, Boston, or Bibb)
  • 8 slices tomato

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place bacon on a rimmed baking sheet; cook until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large shallow dish, whisk together eggs, cream, and chives; season with salt and pepper. Lay bread in a single layer in egg mixture and soak 3 minutes on each side. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. When butter sizzles, add bread and cook until golden and crisp around edges, about 3 minutes per side, flipping once.
  3. To serve, layer lettuce, tomato, and bacon on each slice of French toast and sprinkle with chives.
