Ingredients
- 8 slices thick cut bacon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or maple syrup (you might not use it all)
- 4 slices thick cut crusty bread (have an extra slice or two on hand if you want to soak up the extra)
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup cream
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- salt, pepper and fresh nutmeg to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- 4 large lettuce leaves (or however much lettuce you're into)
- 8 tomato slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375. Place bacon on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook until golden, about 15 minutes, rotating half-way through.
- Meanwhile, in a large, shallow baking dish, whisk eggs, cream and parsley. Add salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Lay bread in a single layer in the egg mixture and soak 3-5 minutes, flipping the slices to fully coat.
- Heat a large skillet over medium and add butter. When butter begins to sizzle, add bread and cook until golden and crisp at the edges, about 3 minutes per side.
- To serve, layer lettuce, tomato and bacon on each slice of toast and sprinkle with extra parsley.
