<![CDATA[Rustic French toast]]>I burnt the bacon. But I’m still going to eat it.

Bake some crusty bread. Let it sit for a day. Soak it in egg and milk wash for 20 minutes. Cook it.

You get a French toast that is epic.

Cost per person, $2.60

Three eggs and 2/3 cup milk. I usually add a fourth egg and a little bit more milk because my bread is a little crustier. A duck egg did sneak into mix this time.

Got it free during a freezer clean out. Tried crisping it in the toaster oven, but apparently it’s even too thin for that. Still tasted good even if it was burnt.

You could eat it straight, but then it has that burnt taste. Still good.

At that point I save it, let it cool, and then crumble it, either in scrambled eggs, or an omelette. There are other options… toss it in with some roasted potatoes… basically, turn it into bacon bits. That bacon is nowhere near burnt enough to waste.

Or is that bacon grease

Great stuff.
