Indulge in savory-sweet maple-bacon stuffed French toast sandwiches that redefine breakfast bliss. Perfect for your next lazy morning treat!
Ingredients
- • Thick-cut bacon: 8 slices
- • Thick-sliced brioche or challah bread: 8 slices
- • Large eggs: 4
- • Whole milk: 1 cup
- • Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • Maple syrup: 1/2 cup, plus more for drizzling
- • Cream cheese: 1/2 cup, softened
- • Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Butter: 4 tablespoons
- • Fresh chives: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and drain on paper towels.
- 2 In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- 3 Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on four slices of bread. Top each with two slices of crispy bacon, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and cover with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
- 4 Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow excess to drip off before placing the sandwich in the skillet.
- 5 Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
- 6 Drizzle the sandwiches with maple syrup and garnish with fresh chives. Serve immediately for a breakfast that's as indulgent as it is satisfying.
Serving Suggestions
- • For a well-rounded breakfast, serve these stuffed French toast sandwiches with a side of fresh fruit salad or a refreshing mixed green salad. A sprinkle of powdered sugar can add a touch of elegance, while a few extra crispy bacon strips on the side will please any bacon lover. Pair this indulgent breakfast with a steaming cup of rich, dark coffee or a frothy cappuccino to balance the sweetness of the maple syrup. For a refreshing twist, consider a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a mimosa for a celebratory morning treat.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, allow the sandwiches to cool completely before wrapping them individually in aluminum foil or storing in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it may make the bread soggy.
