No one will sleep through a breakfast like this! I’m tellin’ you, it’s g0000d! You may even have to grab some and hide out–to avoid the mob that will surely come.
Strawberry-Filled French Toast

For French toast, whisk eggs, milk and salt together until foamy. Melt 1 tsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each slice of bread in egg mixture and place in skillet. Cook until underside is light brown. Turn and cook other side. Butter each piece of toast and set on warm plate until all are cooked. Spoon 1/4 cup of filling over 1 slice of toast and top with another slice of toast–like a sandwich. Dust with powdered sugar. Makes 12 servings.
