French Toast at Finn's in Salt Lake City
There are two kinds of dressed-up French toast: French toast with stuff on it, and French toast with stuff in it. I generally find myself more a fan of the latter, so I loved the Jule Kake French Toast ($8.49) at Finn's in Salt Lake City, which might be called a Scandinavian diner. Here, the "Norwegian Christmas Bread" is laced with raisins, citron, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon, dipped in a simple creamy-eggy batter and griddled golden brown.Got Leftover Bagels? Turn Them Into French Toast
Despite the ubiquity of bagels in delis and supermarket freezer sections across the country, there aren't that many "second life bagel" recipes. Challah is often used for French Toast and bread pudding—bagels, not so much. Yet so many places are littered with spare bagels, since the temptation is always to buy a dozen, even if only six people work at the office and two of them are on Atkins. So what about using a bagel to make French toast? I can hear Linda Richmond in my head now..."This French toast is neither French nor toasted! Discuss!"Favorite Bread for French Toast?
[Photograph: Robyn Lee] French toast comes in all sizes and shapes: the average thick white bread, brioche, challah, some nice cinnamon-raisin, or maybe the special Italian holiday bread Panettone. But Cakespy has me salivating for this croissant French toast from the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland, Oregon. "This is possibly the most wonderful way to bring day-old croissants back to life that I have ever seen. These compressed crescents contained rich, buttery flavor in every bite." Mmm, repurposed croissants. Ever tried this? Or have another favorite spin on French toast?

Opening a restaurant’s second location is like making a movie sequel. It should capture the feel, the look, and the ambience of the original—faithfully recreating everything that made it a hit in the first place. But it should also bring something else to the table. Move the story along. The Friendly Toast, just opened on Sunday (May 17) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, does so admirably. It’s hard to replicate the success of a local institution. Up in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the original Friendly Toast has earned lines out the door since 1994 for its mammoth pancakes, crazy egg dishes, and over-the-top kitschy décor. But from an airy space in Kendall Square, the owners have crafted a second Crayola-hued temple of...A Breakfast of Eggy Bread, or Savory French Toast
The Paupered Chef Every time I've eaten a form of pan fried egg-coated bread, it's been sweetened—that is, your basic French toast. It never occurred to me that a unsweetened version could be just as tasty until I read about Blake Royer's discovery of eggy bread on The Paupered Chef. Although his British friend manning the stove acted as though eggy bread were the most natural thing in the world, Royer seemed to be just as unaware of the simple savory French toast as I was. We're not the only ones, are we?...French Toast Plush, Now with More Facial Hair
Not the egg-soaked kind of French toast, but the mustachioed, beret-wearing sort. $20, from Tricia Chin on Etsy...Druids Eat Baconhenge Monuments for Breakfast
theanticraft.com Unlike Stonehenge, which mysteriously had no defined origins or intent, the Baconhenge is here for a reason. To celebrate the goodness of bacon-wrapped french toast "stone" sticks that surround a frittata of mushrooms, potato and onions. Baconhenge is not yet a UNESCO World Heritage Site but has the potential to inspire sacrifices, like breakfast cereal.

Photograph courtesy of thewx4.com Despite being subjected to the familiar "don't play with your food" parental instruction throughout my childhood, as an adult I can't help but succumb to a little makeshift breakfast sandwich action. The most popular (and easiest to assemble), has got to be the irresistible pancake-bacon combo, or you can get a little more serious, as in the case of the waffle sandwich I posted about here last September. It's always fun to create your own monstrosity, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for the chef who saves you (and by that I mean my wife) from the embarrassment of a self-made sandwich at the table. Such is the case with the seared smoked...French Toast Waffles
infraredherring made the french toast waffles from Dorie Greenspan's cookbook Waffles: From Morning to Midnight. The happy report is that they "come out deliciously eggy (like french toast) and slightly crisp around the edges (like waffles!). They were easy to make and thoroughly delicious!" (Pancakes are more your thing? Greenspan's got you covered too, with her Pancakes: From Morning to Midnight.)...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
