Yes, bacon can definitely go on French toast! In fact, combining the sweet and savory flavors of French toast with the delicious, crispy, and smoky taste of bacon can create a mouthwatering breakfast or brunch dish.
To make French toast with bacon, you can follow these simple steps:
Cook the bacon: Fry or bake the bacon until it's crispy to your liking. Set it aside on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Prepare the French toast mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, a touch of sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Soak the bread: Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow the bread to soak for a few seconds to absorb the mixture.
Cook the French toast: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or cooking spray. Cook the soaked bread slices for a few minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Serve with bacon: Once the French toast is done, serve it hot with the crispy bacon on the side or even on top of the French toast for a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
Optional: You can drizzle maple syrup or sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the French toast to add an extra touch of sweetness to complement the savory bacon.
Enjoy your delicious bacon-topped French toast! It's a fantastic fusion of flavors that is sure to be a hit at the breakfast table.
