French Toast with Mascarpone/Bacon Stuffing and Sweet Potato Grits

French Toast with Mascarpone/Bacon Stuffing & Sweet Potato Grits

A local brunch joint (“Bull Market”) offers a French Toast like this, and I almost dropped everything yesterday to go. Then I reevaluated and decided to make it myself, and to also add a side of baked sweet potato mashed with grits, butter, salt and a little maple syrup.

No recipe for the French Toast – used a big think chunk of challah bread drenched in an egg/cream/water mix, and pan-fried it. After that I cut it in half, made wide slits and stuffed it with a mascarpone/cream cheese and bacon bit combo. All of this drenched in maple syrup and sprinkled with honeyed pecans.

Sorry to link to FB – but that is their original French Toast dish: https://www.facebook.com/bullmarketfl/photos/a.154085368078450.34319.154006601419660/744384165715231/?type=3&theater

P.S. The grits idea comes from Red Cow’s side dish menu.

I copied local restaurants today 🙂
