Breakfast Burger With French Toast Bun Recipes

FRENCH TOAST BUNS

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined. Dunk both sides of the buns in the egg mixture until completely saturated, about 20 seconds on each side.
• In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter and place the buns on top. Using a spatula, lightly press down on the buns so they make contact with the hot butter. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes on each side.

FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• For the roll-ups: Whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. Set aside until ready to use.
• Using a rolling pin, roll each slice of bread to flatten and make more pliable. Trim the crust off each slice.
• For the banana-strawberry: Arrange a few slices of banana along the bottom edge of a slice of bread making a 1-inch strip of banana all the way across. Top with a line of chopped strawberries (about 1 tablespoon), being careful not to put too many down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with remaining bread and fruit.
• For the blueberry and cream cheese: Spread 1 teaspoon cream cheese in a 3/4-inch strip along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with 2 rows of blueberries (about 2 to 3 tablespoons) being careful not to put too many down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread and fillings.
• For the apple-peanut butter: Spread 1 teaspoon peanut butter in a 3/4-inch strip along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with some apple, being careful not to put too much down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread and fillings.
• For the sausage and cheese: Lay half a slice of Cheddar along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with a cooked sausage link. Starting with the side of the bread with the sausage, carefully roll into a tight log so that the sausage is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread, cheese and sausages.
• For cooking: Dip each roll-up in the reserved egg mixture and turn to coat all sides, making sure that the egg seals up the exposed edge so that the roll-up doesn't unravel. Repeat with the remaining roll-ups.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook half of the roll-ups, gently pressing down on each roll-up to make a flat edge against the pan, until all 4 sides are golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon butter and remaining 6 roll-ups.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side.

BREAKFAST BURGERS

Steps:

• For the dressing: Stir the mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish together in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the burgers: Gently mix together the ground beef, sausage and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the meat into 4 pieces and form each into a 4-inch patty.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the patties. Cook until well browned, about 3 minutes, and then flip. Top with some of the cheese and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the burger is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spread the toasted muffins with some of the mustard dressing and top with a slice of tomato and a burger patty.
• Crack the eggs into the skillet with the sausage drippings and cook to your preference.
• Place an egg on each burger and finish with some baby arugula on the top of the English muffin.

HAMBURGER/HOTDOG BUN FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, beat together all the ingredients except the buns with a fork until well blended. Dip both sides of buns in mixture (note: do not soak in mixture; just dip to cover lightly!).
• Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Place the buns in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned. Serve warm with syrup.

FRENCH TOASTED BUNS

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the first six ingredients; mix well. Dip both sides of each bun into egg mixture. Cook on a greased hot griddle until golden brown on both sides. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the syrup and dried fruit; cook over medium heat until heated through. Serve with French Toasted buns.
