Instructions:

1. Prepare the French Toast:

  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter or spray with cooking spray.
  • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
  • Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the French toast from the skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the Eggs:

  • In the same skillet, crack the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the eggs to your desired doneness (fried, scrambled, or poached).

3. Assemble the Sandwiches:

  • Place a slice of cheese on each slice of French toast.
  • Top half of the slices with cooked bacon or Canadian bacon.
  • Place a cooked egg on top of the bacon.
  • Add any optional toppings, such as sliced avocado, tomato, spinach, arugula, or hot sauce.
  • Place the remaining slices of French toast on top to form sandwiches.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

Tips for Success:

  • Use thick-cut bread for the French toast to ensure it can hold up to the fillings.
  • Customize the sandwich fillings to your liking, adding your favorite breakfast ingredients or toppings.
  • If you prefer a softer French toast, use a sweeter bread such as challah or cinnamon swirl.
