Breakfast for Dinner: Stuffed French Toast and Potato & Egg Bake

I ran out of vegetarian meals just in time for family dinner this week. Perfect.
I scoured my Pinterest and found this yummy looking stuffed french toast recipe.
I mean look at this! So good! Here is the recipe.

I also wanted to have a few more options as sides so I thought I'd cook up this potato bake I have every once in a while for breakfast.
Uh… YUP.

Here it is, fellas.

Let's start with the french toast...

This is what I dipped the toast in. Mom said I hadn't mixed it enough at this point so she took a whip to it for another 5 minutes. Who has time for that??

The filling. It tasted good just on its own, as Michael can attest to.

I could only fry two at a time… I miss my griddle!


Since the texas toast was so big, I had to make sure to fry on every side so we weren't eating raw egg.
I don't have more pictures of this whole process. I think you can guess where it goes.
Potatoes! I forgot the eggs in this picture. Add them with your mind.



Everything but the cream and eggs.
We needed the oven to cook the bacon (first time trying that!) so we put it in the toaster oven to cook the eggs and cheese. Also, I didn't use the right cheese but I'm ok with that.

All done!

And mimosas! (bacon not pictured)
I forgot to take pictures of making the blueberry (not blackberry, couldn't find any) compote. Sorry!
Please don't tell my grandmother I served something in a pot. 

This was freakin' delicious! Go make this right now! It was easy and yummy and I need to make it again ASAP. The only thing was it took a while because I could only cook two at time. We doubled the recipe to make enough for 5 people but it could have served 6 with everyone getting two triangles. The compote was a nice topping, although I wish it was thicker. We only bought one orange for the zest and it ended up only giving 2 teaspoons for the filling and the coating each.
Every time I make the potato bake some of the potatoes come out not done. I don't know what it is. I cook it for almost an hour which is twice as long as the recipe says and it's still not done. And they're so little! I dunno, man. Still good, though. I usually just put the egg yellows in it and save the whites for something else. 
Side note: the turkey bacon in the oven turned out good. I think we left it in for longer than we should have but it was a nice, different way to cook it. Less greasy. 

Stuck to the script: about 95% for the french toast because we used a different berry and less orange zest. Maybe the same for the potatoes because we used a different cheese and we had to cook it longer.
