Leftover bun French toast
We had 6 leftover hot dog buns, so we felt inspired by this tip: https://www.rudisbakery.com/gluten-free-post/what-to-do-with-leftover-hot-dog-buns. We used our favorite French toast recipe: http://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/155719168961/ciabatta-french-toast-we-tried-this-recipe. Note: Because these were fresh rolls, we spread out each open hot dog bun on a baking rack (placed inside a foil-lined baking sheet) and roasted them in the oven at 300… Continue reading Leftover bun French toast

Eggs in a nest
We followed this basic recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/187850/egg-in-a-hole/ To make it healthier, we sprayed oil in a nonstick pan instead of using bacon grease. (Jan. 2018)

Chinese-style savory french toast
We tried this Chinese recipe for savory breakfast: http://iamafoodblog.com/crispy-salt-and-pepper-french-toast-recipe/ It’s a good use of leftover sliced bread. Based on our pantry, we omitted the cilantro. We also found that for four pieces of toast, we used 3 eggs and 3 Tbsp milk, and we adjusted the other seasonings accordingly. We cooked the egg-dipped bread in… Continue reading Chinese-style savory french toast
