I made myself look like a star making this recipe. So easy…I did the cherry recipe…next time will try the apple. Followed step by step but I think I can make some minor alterations next time around. Over all, not bad at all!
tastes like hotdog stew
Tasty, that is what I think.
YUMMMMY!!!
it was good everyone in my family like it will be doing it again but next time will be doing it again with nutmeg
I reall liked the show, but the dish was just ok.
Good and simple recipe. I cooked mine on a buttered skillet, next time I will cook them over low heat instead of medium heat to enable the filling to heat all the way through before browing too much on the outside.
I tried this recipe for my family and everyone loved it. We did the apples.
I tried using the cherry filling with, just Texas toast. I cooked these on a panini grill. The taste was not what I expected. Waste of 6 good eggs! I wont try these again. However I love your work!! Bigg D:-)
Great recipe. I filled mine with sweetened cream cheese and topped with fresh berries. I also used an old foreman grill that had been out of use for a while. I will be using it for all future french toasts. Great recipie I will make again!!
