CHERRY FRENCH TOAST BREAKFAST BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
• Whisk eggs in a bowl until smooth.
• Line the bottom of the prepared dish with half of the bread. Bread can be sliced or torn to cover the bottom of the dish flat. Pour half of the eggs over and spread to the edges to saturate bread. Spread half of the pie filling over.
• Line the dish with remaining bread and pour remaining eggs over to saturate; some may leak through below and that is okay. Cover with yogurt and spread evenly to seal the top. Pour remaining pie filling over and spread evenly.
• Place butter, sugar, flour, almonds, and cinnamon into a bowl. Work the dry ingredients into the butter with a fork to create crumbs, adding more flour and sugar if needed to get the right consistency. Sprinkle crumb over the top of the cherry filling. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center topping is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting with a spatula to serve.

CRUNCHY GRANOLA FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla with whisk until well combined.
• In food processor, place granola. Cover; process about 30 seconds or until all large pieces are broken up and coarse meal forms. Transfer to shallow bowl.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-low heat. Dip bread slices into egg mixture then into granola to coat evenly on both sides. Place 2 slices in skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until deep golden brown. Turn; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding oil as needed.
• Serve each slice with 2 tablespoons syrup.

CHERRY-ALMOND GRANOLA CRISP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread out the cherry halves in the bottom of an 8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking dish. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, add the honey, butter and salt. Bring to a foaming boil over medium heat, then cook 3 to 4 minutes until the honey thickens, stirring often so it never burns. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla - it will spatter slightly - then fold in the almonds and oats, continuing to stir until the oats absorb all the honey syrup.
• Drop spoonfuls of the mixture across the cherries, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the almonds are almost a mahogany brown and the cherries are tender and juicy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, so the granola hardens slightly, then serve with yogurt.

FRENCH TOAST STICKS

• Coat a skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Place sticks in the hot skillet and cook until brown, 2 to 3 minutes; turn over and cook until browned on other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with the second batch.
