French Toast Friday: Poppy Seed Cake French Toast

French Toast Friday

This is the first in a French Toast Series. This is NOT Weight Watchers Points Plus friendly, so I have not included the Points Plus values. I may make a few WW French Toast recipes...but these first few...are definitely not good for anyone's diet. But they are so amazing!

I could show you how to make basic plain ole' boring French Toast...but then I wouldn't be QUIRKY breakfast...I would be BORING breakfast. And that's just not right. So without further ado, I give you an overindulgence of French Toast JOY!

Poppy Seed Cake French Toast

So you're going to need to start with Poppy Seed Cake. There are a couple of ways that you can do this.
  1. In order to ensure that you have the exact same recipe as me, you should have an aunt who bakes delicious poppy seed cake for Polish Christmas Eve.  Which I happen to have had this past Christmas, and many Christmases of my childhood. 
  2. If you DON'T have an aunt who bakes you poppy seed cake, FEAR NOT! You can bake the exact same cake at home. All you need is the secret recipe. Which is printed on the back of the Solo Poppy Seed Filling Can Label... Or found on the Solo website.
  3. I realize that this is a lot of work to put into breakfast...but I mean come on, it's AMAZING French Toast. But I guess if you're REALLY FREAKIN' LAZY, you can go buy a poppy seed cake from Dominick's or whatever grocery store you shop at. Lazy.
After you've got your poppy seed cake, you'll need 2 slices (about a half inch thick each), 1 egg, and 1/3 cup milk. What's that you say? Only 3 ingredients? Yep. It's easy. So stop being lazy and make the damn cake like a boss.

How to Make Poppy Seed Cake French Toast
  1. First, turn the stove onto medium heat with a non-stick pan
  2. Then, mix the eggs and milk together in a bowl.

  1. After a minute or two (when the bottom is properly browned), flip the French Toast to brown the other side.
  2. This really doesn't need syrup, but if you want to add it, by all means, go for it. 
  3. Enjoy.
