Bacon Crusted Pound Cake French Toast with a Blueberry Compote

Just about everyone loves French Toast but it is just too sweet for me to eat in the morning. I mixed some things up and turned this traditional breakfast into an experimental dessert. Don't worry, there is still bacon. Let's begin:

Make six strips of bacon, let it cool, and dice it up as finely as possible. I always make an extra strip because I know I am going to pick at it. I am only human. Don't cook the shit out of it because it will hit the pan once more before we are done.

I only had 1/2c of blueberries left so I mixed them up with 1/3c water and 1/4c sugar, let it lightly simmer for about 20 min, and poured it into a pyrex to cool. You can do that ice water bath bullshit, but whatever.


Slice up some pound cake and let it briefly soak in a combination of 3 eggs, 1c milk, 1tbl sugar, and 1/4tsp salt. Fuck that cinnamon and nutmeg crap. Leave it in there too long and your shit will fall apart.

Coat the pound cake French toast with your bacon crumbs and fry it up in some butter. You want the temperature low enough so the bacon does not burn but high enough so the egg cooks. It is a fine line. I had a nice strip of bacon to garnish this dish but it didn't make it that long. Eat it.

Fuck dinner. I'm having that.

Watch some moron decided it'll taste just as good with Bac-o's or whatever bacon bits are called these days.

Love your work!
