French Toast Breakfast Lasagna Recipes

BREAKFAST LASAGNA

Steps:

• For the crepes: In a medium, bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 cup of the olive oil, cumin, salt, coriander and pepper. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Tilt the pan so the batter coats the bottom of the pan. Cook until the underside edges begin to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Using a heat-proof silicone spatula, flip the crepe and continue to cook on the other side until golden, 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter to make a total of 8 crepes.
• For the custard: In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook the pancetta over medium-high heat until crispy, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and drain on paper towels. In a medium bowl beat the eggs and milk together until smooth. Add the tomatoes, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. In another medium bowl, mix the Cheddar and fontina together.
• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• To assemble the lasagna, ladle 1 cup of the custard into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange two crepes, side-by-side on top. Sprinkle one-quarter of the cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle one-quarter of the pancetta over the cheese. Repeat the layers using the remaining crepes, custard, cheese and pancetta. Pour any remaining custard over the lasagna and bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• DIRECTIONS For the French Toast: In large mixing bowl whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon until well blended. Heat 2 teaspoons butter in skillet over medium heat. Dip slice of cinnamon raisin bread in egg mixture, flip over and place in skillet. Cook until lightly browned, then flip and cook until slightly puffed up and lightly browned. Remove to plate. Repeat with all slices cinnamon raisin bread. For the Scrambled Eggs: While preparing French toast, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper in large mixing bowl (4 quarts or larger) until well blended. Cook eggs in 2 batches. Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in skillet over medium heat; add half of eggs to pan. Agitate with silicone spatula, cooking until there are curds that are set and only a little wet. Remove to paper-towel lined plate; repeat with remaining butter and eggs. For the Lasagna: Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease 9x13-inch baking dish and lay out layer of French toast in bottom; cutting pieces in half to cover entire surface without overlapping (8-9 slices). Drizzle half pancake syrup over French toast. Spread half eggs and ham over French toast, then sprinkle half cheese over that. Repeat with remaining French toast, pancake syrup, eggs and ham. Press hash browns evenly over ham and eggs; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes uncovered. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and return to oven for 10 minutes. Turn broiler on high and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is caramelized. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional pancake syrup, if desired.

FRENCH LASAGNE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine milk and garlic, and place over high heat until almost at boiling point. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Discard garlic, and drizzle eggs into milk while whisking vigorously. Set aside.
• Place bottoms of croissants, cut side up, into a baking dish large enough to hold them snugly in a single layer. (A 10 x 13-inch dish works well.) On each croissant half, arrange a slice of ham and a slice of mozzarella. Top with remaining croissant halves, cut side down.
• Sprinkle about 2/3 of cheddar on croissants, and pour milk mixture over everything. Press croissants down with a fork so they are almost covered by milk, repeating once or twice until tops absorb some of liquid. Set aside for 20 minutes; meanwhile, heat oven to 325 degrees.
