I wanted to create a special Father's Day dish for my Dad who is a huge bacon lover.  He loved this bacony take on traditional French toast.  Enjoy.


Ingredients

4-6 large        eggs

1/2 cup          whipping cream

1 tsp              vanilla

1/4 tsp            salt

8                    bread, sliced

8                    bacon, sliced & cooked

2 oz                aged cheddar cheese

2 Tb               unsalted butter

Directions

Whisk together eggs, cream, and vanilla, and pour the mixture into a large shallow pan.

Slice the cheese and then place the cheese & bacon on the inside of the bread.

Immerse the sandwich in the liquid and let them soak for a minutes, then flip them over and soak them for another minute.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches, until golden on both sides, adding more butter as necessary.

Garnish with strawberries & drizzle with maple syrup.
