Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Vary It!
Slice a couple of tomatoes and sauté them with the bread slices.
Speed It Up! Use precooked bacon slices instead of raw. To start the recipe, melt 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine in the sauté pan. Add the bread, eggs, and cheese as directed. Either add the bacon strips during the last minute to heat through or heat separately in a microwave oven, following the package directions.
