Breakfast Recipes

Here's all the recipes listed under American French Toast along with the comments posted by the breakfast lovers that submitted them.

Amish-Style French Toast

"This is our family's go-to French toast recipe. The kids like it with peanut butter on top. For a treat, try the same recipe but use cinnamon raisin bread (and omit the cinnamon). It's so good."

1 cup milk, 4 eggs, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 dash pepper, 4 to 6 pieces bread (thick-sliced if you can find it)

Apple Baked Lasagna

"I get great compliments whenever I make this. The combination sounds awkward to people at first, but you can't beat the taste of sweet and savory together at breakfast."

1 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 12 slices bread, 1/2 pound ham, 2 cups shredded cheese (any variety), 1 can apple pie filling, 1 cup granola with raisins

2 eggs, 3/4 cup low-fat milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 cup applesauce, 6 slices of white bread

Bagel French Toast
