Crunchy Cheese Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the bread about 1/2" thick and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Combine the oil, thyme and cayenne in a bowl; whisk to blend and brush on the bread slices.
• Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 300 degrees until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Spread 4 bread slices with 1 tablespoon cream cheese each; spread the other 4 slices with 1 teaspoon marmalade each. Combine to make 4 sandwiches.
• Whisk the whole eggs, egg whites, orange zest and juice, and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Place the bran flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or your hands. Pour the crumbs onto a plate. Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture, then in the crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs onto the bread.
• Heat 1 tablespoon each oil and butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sandwiches in batches and cook until the outsides are golden and the insides are melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Add more oil and butter, if needed.)
• Slice the French toast sandwiches into triangles. Let cool before serving to little ones, as the cream cheese can get quite hot. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and the kids won't even ask for syrup!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack. Heat a griddle pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Zest the orange and set aside. Working over a medium bowl, segment the orange; squeeze the juice from the remaining orange membranes.
• Whisk the eggs, orange zest, milk, cinnamon and orange juice in a baking dish or shallow bowl. Add the cornflakes and bacon to another baking dish and toss together. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and let them soak for 1 minute.
• While the bread is soaking, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter on the griddle pan or skillet.
• Working with one slice of bread at a time, let the excess egg mixture drip off and then dredge the bread in the cornflake mixture. Add the bread to the griddle, carefully placing as many slices of bread as can comfortably fit without touching too much (it's OK if the edges need to touch a little). You can dredge the bread, transfer it to an unlined baking sheet and hold for 5 minutes while one batch is cooking.
• Cook on one side, rotating occasionally, until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until it is equally browned, another 2 minutes. Transfer the slices to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you complete the next batches. Repeat the cooking process, melting 2 tablespoons of butter for each batch.
• When all of the French toast is cooked and you are ready to serve, gently stir together the maple syrup and orange segments, making sure not to break up the segments. Spoon the syrup over the French toast and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine carrot, cabbage, green onion, black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Mix with your hands for about 30 seconds until soft and seasoned. Add eggs and mix thoroughly with a fork; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread slices and toss to make sure both sides are well buttered. Grill bread until both sides are beautifully toasted and golden brown and starting to get a little crispy. Remove to a plate.
• Heat remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage mixture; cook and simultaneously mix by using the edge of a spatula to chop down on the surface while pushing the edges up and over the top. As the mixture starts to hold its shape, form into a rectangle that's about twice as long as it is wide. Split the rectangle in half and continue to cook until golden brown; flip and continue on the opposite side, 3 to 4 minutes total.
• Stack cabbage pieces on top of one another and transfer to toast. Top with sugar.
• Add ham to the same skillet over medium heat; cook until sizzling. Flip and top ham with Cheddar cheese. Cook until melted, about 1 minute.
• Place ham on sandwich and squeeze over mayonnaise and ketchup. Top with remaining slice of toast, slice in half, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Whisk mayo, seasoning and lemon juice in medium bowl until blended; stir in cheese.
• Spread onto bread wedges; place in single layer on baking sheet.
• Bake 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, strawberry preserves and powdered sugar until smooth.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla.
• Place crushed corn flakes in another shallow bowl.
• Spread cream cheese mixture thickly on one side of one piece of bread.
• Top with another slice of bread, making a sandwich.
• Cut in half diagonally.
• Melt a little butter in skillet.
• Dip both sides of sandwich in egg mixture and then in corn flakes.
• Fry in melted butter until golden brown on both sides. (Add a little more butter to pan with each batch.).
• Place on serving dish and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.
• Garnish with strawberry fans.
• Serve with maple syrup and whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Cut French bread into 54 slices, about 1/4 in. thick. Place on ungreased baking sheets. in a small bowl, whisk the oil, thyme and cayenne until blended. Brush over bread slices. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 300 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until bread is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix cream cheese and granulated sugar until blended. Spread each of 4 bread slices with 2 Tbsp. cream cheese mixture. Cover with remaining bread slices to make 4 sandwiches.
• Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk eggs and milk in shallow dish until blended. Place crushed cereal in separate shallow dish. Dip sandwiches, 1 at a time, into egg mixture, then cereal, turning to evenly coat both sides of each sandwich with each ingredient. Place on prepared baking sheet. Press cereal gently into sandwiches to secure.
• Bake 20 min. or until golden brown. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half; top with fruit. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with syrup.
