He makes you waffles?!! I think I need to print out this post and leave it on the remote control, ha!<br /><br />Gwoe- Oh man, sweet cream stuffed French toast is to DIE for. Love it! I like bacon with everything... it's the kind of food that makes almost everything taste better. For breakfast, my favorite is dunking it in syrup :)<br /><br />Wendy- I love cheese. I could write an ode to that most aromatic food. And this recipe doesn't look TOO hard... despite the fact that I routinely mess up box-recipe dinners, I bet I could do it! (Hey, I like to think positive). Thank you for sharing it, I seriously am going to give it a try and tell you how it turned out.<br /><br />Shannon- You're welcome :) Krispy Kreme donuts are such a perfect food. I could use that glaze as a dipping sauce lol!<br /><br />Nevets- You're welcome Nevets, and thank you!<br /><br />Void- Awww! See ladies? The boys want to play too. I'm glad you liked the award, Void. Aren't they nice little surprises? :) And I like your answer, but my favorite Denny's breakfast is their French Toast Slam, yummersDiana Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368186068872293410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017446111798334119.post-75458689638649366062009-12-11T08:12:22.822-08:002009-12-11T08:12:22.822-08:00Thanks for the One Lovely Blog Award.

Grate 1 half of each <br />and set aside the other half. Grate 1/3 of white cheddar. <br /> <br />Grease a 10x13 pan. Split the english muffins in half and place in the <br />pan bumpy side up. Spray with PAM. Top with grated cheeses. Put <br />another layer of english muffins halves, bumpy side up. Spray with PAM.<br />Pour egg mixture over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.<br /> <br />To bake: heat oven to 325. Cover strata with foil bake about 50-60 min.<br />Remove foil. Grate remaining halves of gruyere and extra sharp cheddar. <br />Sprinkle over strata and cook until cheese is melted.<br /> <br />I like the strata fairly dry but if you want it fluffier add more milk.<br />Enjoy we make this for nearly every occasion. It also makes good leftovers.<br />I recommend reheating in the oven not the microwave:)Wendy Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240583852940769313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017446111798334119.post-67299019370440837342009-12-10T15:43:23.077-08:002009-12-10T15:43:23.077-08:00I like bacon, with a side of bacon and then bacon ...I like bacon, with a side of bacon and then bacon drizzled all over it and maybe my sweet cream cheese stuffed french toast.

If you pick well the first time, why not keep them? LOL<br /><br />My favorite breakfast is my husband's home made waffles. OK, he uses a mix, but they're still terrific! And what could be better than a husband who cooks breakfast on the weekend?

I'm still not at fifteen blogs so the way I see it, this totally counts.<br /><br />Shannon- You're mighty welcome! I liked your blog and look forward to seeing more of your posts :) You have some excellent taste in breakfast foods... I totally go for post birthday/Thanksgiving/Christmas dessert leftovers!<br /><br />Wendy- I've never even heard of a strata before! I'm all for breakfast foods with cheese so I think I'm in. (Diana scurries off to Google "strata")<br /><br />Erica- You are hilarious! When you said, "out of that crap" the literal meaning is so poignant I had to laugh. And I'm a huge fan of pig in a blanket deals, especially overly smothered in syrup! I dunk my bacon in syrup too.

Congrats to your sis, and glad your kids are on the way out of that crap!<br /><br />I love, love breakfast food! The ones I love are not of the healthy variety, but there's this "pig in a blanket," deal that they have at a restaurant here. It's a big sausage wrapped in a pancake- and it's devine. Extra syrup on that one= happy girl! I only go to that place like twice a year, but man, is it good!<br /><br />Your blog is great too.
