Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown slices of Canadian bacon in butter or margarine.

- In a bowl, whisk together milk and beaten egg with a pinch of salt.
- Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
- Cook the coated bread slices in the same pan until golden brown on both sides.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use thick slices of brioche or challah bread instead of regular bread. If you don't have Canadian bacon, regular bacon or ham can be substituted. Consider adding a dash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture for added depth. If you prefer a sweeter touch, serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar on top.
Serving Suggestions
These Canadian Bacon-French Toast Sandwiches are perfect for brunch. Serve them with fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries or bananas, to brighten the plate. Pair with a side of Pearfect Green Beans for a balanced meal. A drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top enhances the dish's sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or on a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid using a microwave as it can make the bread soggy.
