Bacon and pepper French Toast – Improv Challenge

Savory french toast

 

Last year, when I started blogging, I received an invitation to participate in a group challenge called ‘Improv_Challenge’ hosted by Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. At first, I was thrilled. And then, the clueless bloggy pumpkin that I was, it totally stumped me. I had no idea what I was supposed to do, and the only linky party concept I knew was to go and link it up somewhere. Hence, when Kirsten would send me her linkies, I would stare at it stupidly, no clue what to do with it. Kristen even told me what to do, which sounded quite Greek to me, and I was too hesitant to ask any more.

So I did not do anything about it. Till last week. We recently started another Blog hop called ‘Ina’s Fridays’, and Chaya from Bizzy Bakes arranged for a Linky where all the posts would show up on all the participants’ pages once they link their recipe. Ting!!! The bulb came on. I rushed back to check on Improv challenge, and now I knew what this was about.

So from this month, I happily am going to be part of this awesome group of bloggers who blog every third Thursday of the month. This months ingredient are eggs and bacon. I decided to make  French Toasts. But I gave this traditional toast a twist. Instead of semi sweet breakfast, this is more a savory mid day snack or even a brunch. Goes well as a finger food too.
