Aroma of Fall: Waking up to French Toast and Sausage






Why I like fall:  Harvesting of the fruit and vegetables, mums in bloom in the yard,  crisp autumn days, decorating my home with the fall colors. Cooking in my Bean Pot.This recipe was shared with me and I thought I would pass it on.  I plan on making this very soon. Can you  smell the cinnamon and nutmeg.  It will just say Fall has arrived.

French Toast & Sausage

Making breakfast is
a snap with this recipe because most of the prep is done the night before.
Ingredients:
10 slices bread (stale or fresh, cubed)

5 eggs

1/3 cup milk

Cinnamon and nutmeg
1 tsp. of vanilla or orange extract
                                                       Pancake syrup
                                                       Sausage links                                            

Directions:

The evening before serving, place enough bread in bean pot to fill halfway.

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, dash of cinnamon and nutmeg, vanilla or orange extract together.

Pour mixture over bread.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, squeeze pancake syrup over top of mixture making an "S" shape in both directions.

Cover with foil and twist to make handles on each end of bean pot.

Place sausage links on foil.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Serve with steaming hot cup or coffee or tea, sliced oranges, bananas or apples.  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Decorating tip:  To serve above recipe arrange fruit slices on a pretty plate with matching cup and saucer and serve the sausage and french toast.   Use a tablecloth or placemat with napkin.  Be creative.  It doesn't have to match.  Use what you have.  Just make it special.  Serve to your family or if you live alone invite someone in to enjoy it with you.  Start a breakfast club with some friends to share recipe, food, and laughter.  Take time to be grateful for what you have and enjoy.
