FRENCH TOAST STUFFED WITH BACON, ONION TOMATO JAM WITH GRUYERE, AND A FRIED EGG

Steps:

• For the filling: Toss the bacon into a large saute pan with a few drops of olive oil. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the onion and season with salt and the crushed red pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the tomato, season with more salt, and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and mushy and most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and reseason if needed. Stir in the oregano and let cool.
• For the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a wide, flat dish, combine the eggs, milk, cayenne (if using), and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and homogeneous.
• Lay 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Using half the Gruyere, sprinkle each piece of bread lightly with cheese. Spoon a quarter of the bacon filling onto each piece of bread and then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top each slice with another piece of bread and press to secure.
• Working in batches, soak each "toast" in the egg mixture for about 1 minute; flip and soak the other side.
• While the toasts are soaking, coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to medium heat.
• Working in batches so you don't crowd the pan, cook the toasts for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The toasts should be golden brown, lovely, and crisp-YUM! Transfer the toasts to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
• For the fried eggs and assembly:
• Coat a large nonstick saute pan lightly with olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the eggs to the pan, working in batches if necessary. Cook them until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are warm and runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the toasts from the oven and top each with a perfectly fried egg. Sprinkle with chives if you like and serve immediately.

CREAM CHEESE AND BACON STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Spread cream cheese spread onto 2 bread slices and sprinkle with bacon; cover with remaining bread slices to make 2 sandwiches.
• Whisk eggs, milk and vanilla in pie plate until blended.

• Dip sandwiches, 1 at a time, in egg mixture, turning to evenly moisten both sides of each. Add to same skillet; cook on medium heat 2 to 3 min. on each side or until sandwiches are golden brown on both sides. Serve with apples.

BACON-CRUSTED FRUIT-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to paper towels; dice. Reserve bacon grease.
• Blend cream cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, and sugar in a separate bowl. Fold strawberries and lemon juice into the filling.
• Divide filling between 2 slices of bread, spreading it out to the edges. Cover with remaining 2 slices of bread. Press sandwiches lightly together.
• Mix eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and salt in a shallow bowl to make egg wash.
• Melt 1 1/2 teaspoon reserved bacon grease and 1 1/2 teaspoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half the diced bacon evenly in the skillet. Dip 1 side of each sandwich in the egg wash. Place on top of the bacon in the skillet; cook until eggs are set and slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Melt remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon bacon grease and 1 1/2 teaspoon butter in the skillet. Sprinkle remaining diced bacon in the skillet. Dip the second side of each sandwich in egg wash and return to the skillet; cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Cut sandwiches in half and garnish with mint.

BACON & CREAM CHEESE-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Use sharp knife to make horizontal cut in the side of each bread slice to make pocket, being careful to not cut completely through.
• Fill pockets with cream cheese spread and bacon; press cut edges of pockets together to seal.
• Heat large heavy nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat. Whisk eggs, milk and Parmesan in pie plate until blended. Dip stuffed bread slices, 1 at a time, in egg mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides. Add to skillet, in batches if necessary; cook 4 to 5 min. or until golden brown on both sides, turning after 3 min.
• Serve topped with syrup.

CHEDDAR AND BACON STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the bacon on the prepared pan, brush on the maple syrup and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool until the glaze sets, about 15 minutes.
• Finely dice 4 slices of the glazed bacon and place in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
• Laying the slices of bread on their side, cut a pocket horizontally into the center of each with a paring knife, making sure not to cut all the way through. Stuff each piece of bread with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the bacon and cheese mixture.
• Whisk together the eggs and half-and-half in a large baking dish. Stir in about 1/2 cup of the remaining cheese. Add the stuffed bread and let soak for about 1 minute. Turn over to coat. Let them sit in the custard until they are soaked, but not falling-apart soggy, about 2 minutes.
• Preheat a large or 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter; it should melt pretty quickly and turn a pale brown. Lift each stuffed bread out of the custard, letting it drip for about a second, then gently place it into the skillet. Cook, in batches if needed, until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium low if the toast is browning too quickly. You'll know they're done when each toast is firm and bounces back when you touch it, which means the custard is cooked through.
• To create cheese crusts, remove the toasts to a plate and sprinkle a thin even layer of the remaining cheese into the bare skillet (see Cook's Note). Return the toasts to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the cheese melts, crusts and hardens, about 2 minutes. You're just crusting one side of the toast, so remove the toast from the skillet, cheese-crust-side up. Serve with the remaining 8 slices of glazed bacon and 3 tablespoons of softened butter. Add maple syrup if you love sweet and savory like I do.

BANANA AND BACON STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Slice brioche into 6 slices approximately 1" wide. Cut each slice almost all the way in half leaving a "hinged" edge. Spread a thin layer of mascarpone cheese on the inside of one side of each slice. Place two banana slices atop the mascarpone and finally, add two slices of the cooked bacon. Press together. In a large bowl add eggs, milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla, orange zest, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Working in batches in a large skillet or on a griddle, melt the butter. Dip each stuffed bread into the egg mixture, being careful not to allow the bacon and bananas to fall out. Grill on each side until golden brown.
• Pour warm maple syrup on a large plate and place one piece of stuffed bread on the syrup. Sprinkle fresh berries on top of the bread and dust the entire plate with powdered sugar.
