Loaded French Toast

The obliging, super-reliable Mr. DDelivery came to my rescue a couple of times over a relentless December in my busy Lily's Cottage

Takeaway food can be so comforting and a real guilty treat, but I literally cannot stomach too much of it - mostly loaded with carbs, or if you order a salad, you find a bowl filled with lettuce leaves, and not very much else inside! The usual fare on offer - Burgers & Chips(Fries), Fish & Chips, Fried Chicken & Chips, Flame-grilled Chicken & Chips, Schnitzels & Chips, Wraps & Pizza (thank heavens, no chips!) etc. etc.

My son and his girlfriend visited for two weeks, and I so wanted to cook more homemade meals, but the BnB sapped way too much of my energy, so that did not happen. The girlfriend prepared some meals which was a real treat.

I managed a couple of cooked breakfasts - the usual English breakfast of bacon, eggs, fried tomato, and toast.

Other mornings we just grabbed our favourite cereal, yogurt, berries, or fruit.

One morning when in a huge hurry, I looked in the refrigerator and found a packet of chicken Vienna sausages, a big slab of cheese, and loads of eggs, so decided to make a French toast sandwich.

French Toast

We all know what this is - a slice of bread dipped in beaten egg and milk mix, and shallow fried. It can be served as a savoury, or a sweet breakfast dish. I serve it with a fresh tomato and onion sauce, or as a sweet treat sprinkled with sugar cinnamon, berries, and a dash of honey!

Some simply call it eggy bread.

I have no idea why it's French, nevertheless, it can be a lifesaver when in a hurry!

Well for me this is a powerful version of French toast, I have not prepared them stuffed and the truth is that it seems like a great idea. To be a preparation made quickly, it looks wonderful, you must make magic with enough time hehehehe

Lovely that your son has been visiting on these beautiful dates and if the business has gone well, you have to be happy even though it took up a lot of your time.

I hope you had a nice new year's eve and that this 2025 will be full of pleasant moments for you and your family!

Hi @ninaeatshere, it for sure was a very hearty French toast, kept me going for the rest of the day😉
It was a very special time with my son despite the busyness!
My niece arrived after my son left, we had a quiet New Year's Eve, was nice though.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful 2025🤗

Happy new year dear @lizelle! It's good to see you in the community!

I hope 2025 brings you lots of health, prosperity and joy.

Hugs!

Thank you dear @sirenahippie, a very happy 2025 to you as well!
I'm so glad to be here, it's been crazy busy but things will settle down after this weekend when my staff get back.
A big hug to you🧡

I've never had savoury french toast before. My favourite is peanut butter in between, and then served with loads of butter and syrup. Guilty pleasure 😋

A peanut butter sarmie taken to a whole new level, that's a combination I've not tried! Sounds very good!

Ohh look at those beautiful, plump berries! This looks like the sort of thing I wish I hadn't clicked on 'cause not I'm hungry. It looks like a great, quick and very delicious snack for when you're short on time making lovely memories!

The berries have been gorgeous this season! This loaded French toastie was very filling indeed and so quick to make.
Happy new year to you @honeydue🧡

Looks like with tuna, because the shreded sausage and cheddar. But, all of the recipe very good serving. Thank you so much

Thank you @aswita, it was a tasty quick breakfast!

Ahh this is indeed a delicious toast and makes my mouth water. I'll have to make a version of this at home. French toast would be great for breakfast😍
