Baked French Toast

July 31st, 2012


French toast feels like home. It reminds me of foggy mornings, thick blankets, and entire days spent by a fire. It brings with it such nostalgia – not from childhood, per se, but when I was back home from college,  in between semesters. I remember feeling so grown-up and independent while I was away, but when sitting on the stools at the kitchen counter, I loved that my parents still made me french toast for breakfast. This recipe is a variation on the original with a crumbly top that adds a wonderful texture and really elevates the dish to another level. I put mine in ramekins for individual servings and look forward to making it for my parents the next time they’re in town.

    Hi. First, lovely recipe. NOW – If the person who owns this website or blog or whatever it is is taking credit for your recipes, but your big girl pants on and quit being passive aggressive! If my work was stolen, i would deal with it. Bring the proof, i am a baker and ALWAYS want to give credit where credit is due. And i stick my nose in other people’s business :) I like civility & fairness. So please deal with this, commenters – otherwise you are accusing the OP without just cause (or *any* cause) and that just makes you look bad :(

    ….and there is a link to the Pioneer Woman blog here, so maybe that was missed.
