“Brinner.”
That’s what Hubby calls it when we have Breakfast Foods for dinner.
The kidlets just call it “Best. Meal. Ever.” and I tend to agree . . . regardless of what breakfast food I serve.
There’s just something about sitting as a family over eggs or bacon or waffles. Maybe it’s because we aren’t able to sit together for morning breakfast; with Hubby’s work schedule, it’s just not feasible for us all to eat as a family in the early sunlight hours of the day.
But — dinnertime? THAT’S our family meal, and every single family member (even our toddler, Mr. Boy) loves having “Brinner” with the entire family.
This recipe creates a (nearly) one-dish breakfast that is easy to prepare and even easier to gobble up. Baked French Toast with Bacon IN it. Yes, the bacon gets added directly to this yummy concoction.
Why?
- EVERYTHING is better with bacon in it.
- When I eat waffles, pancakes, or french toast, I always combine a bit of the sweet maple covered bread with a bite of crispy bacon. Since I’m the chef around here . . . a pregnant, hormonal one, at that . . . I get to pick how we eat our meals.
(fortunately for the people who have to eat what I prepare, THIS meal is good.)

Oh my gosh, your recipe looks SOOOOO good and your picture is amazing. I’m SO inexperienced with food pictures. I think it took me longer to take pictures than it did for me to cook. I was telling Crystal I love your recipe format too. I need to switch to WP to get a good plug in like that.
And before this comment turns into a novel, I’ll be thinking of you this week with that sweet baby of yours.
Thank you, Sara!
I LOVE my recipe plug-in. It makes the formatting so easy. (I use a separate plug-in that allows readers to print “just” the recipe)
As for pics . . . my secret? I photograph them in my living room, in front of a window! That’s it! (lol) I started doing that at the start of this HEB challenge and couldn’t believe how much better my food pics started looking. My old photos from my kitchen? Ugh — not good.
That looks SO good! I’m with Sara when it comes to the pictures. can’t wait to see next weeks!
