If you want to cook a quick, delicious breakfast this is a great place to start. My three year old son was absolutely in love with eating this today. I do have to say that I was very satisfied myself with the results of my creation today.
I don’t know about you but I am a Pampered Chef fanatic. I have collected many of their quality products over the past twenty years or so. Today in this particular meal I used one of my favorites from them, my grill pan. It’s great to grill indoors on, and the best part is it’s non stick! The other plus to this pan is you can use metal utensils, the handle comes off so you can also use it in the oven. It’s so versatile.
Growing up, French toast was always my favorite meal for breakfast, and sometimes for dinner. Honestly, I could eat it any time of the day! Now, as far as today goes I have to say I will definitely be making cinnamon whipped cream again and the secret that balanced the sweetness of this meal was……………. chive and onion cream cheese in the scrambled eggs. Not a lot, just enough is also key to just about everything to do with this dish. The French toast also has a maple syrup drizzle over it, but doesn’t need it if you feel that’s too much richness.
