Today's breakfast/brunch was french toast (with home made bread), breakfast potatoes, and bacon.
This is just a quick post to show off my tasty breakfast. I had fresh bread so I decided to make french toast. I also had a leek and a potato left over from what I cooked earlier in the week and I always have bacon on hand so these all became my breakfast. Here is what I did.
The french toast was very basic. Just egg, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract. 4 slices of french bread dunked in the egg mixture and fried in butter until brown. Simple yet very good.
The breakfast potatoes were awesome. I cooked them in a cast iron skillet. In about 1 Tbsp of bacon grease I sauteed the leek that had been chopped (just the white part). Then I added the diced potato and sauteed those together for a few minutes with salt and pepper. And put the whole skillet in the oven at 400F for about 20 minutes until the potato was thoroughly cooked. I melted a slice of provolone on top and then dropped on 2 raw eggs, a little salt and pepper, and put it all back in the oven for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs were just set but the yolks still runny. It made for some tasty potatoes. Makes 2 servings. Enjoy.
