Loving this for a weekend breakfast …

French Toast!

I really don’t like wasting food. I cringe when I have to throw food away that was perfectly good two days ago and then literally overnight becomes a science experiment. I try to keep on top of it by sharing with friends and family or freezing. Bread seems to be the one thing that I forget about. Sigh. BUT, never fear, I have a plan. I make French Toast.

I enjoy making French Toast, and I really love taking leftover Bagels or Cinnamon Rolls and turning them into some fabulous French Toast!

My absolute favorite leftover breads to use are the Cinnamon Crunch Bagels from Panera.They are so yummy when freshly baked, but make them into French Toast and they become INSANELY tasty! The crispy outside with the chewy warm inside and that subtle dusting of powdered sugar makes my heart happy!

I never thought I would want to let my cinnamon crunch bagels get stale, but now I have motive that makes it all worth while! 🙂
