this is one of my husband’s favorite breakfasts. i made it for him this past father’s day, and he loved it. 
enjoy! the recipe comes from my mother-in-law, who is a fabulous cook!
serves 4
1, 8-oz. package sausage patties
italian bread
mozzarella cheese or monterey jack cheese, sliced
4 large eggs
1 C milk
1 tbsp sugar
- preheat a griddle to 300 degrees or medium to medium-low heat. spray with non-stick spray.
- cook sausage patties as per package directions.
- slice bread into 1 1/2 in. slices. make a slit in the middle of each slice for a pocket.
- slice mozzarella cheese – 2 thin slices for each french toast.
- layer 1 1/2 pieces of sausage between two slices of mozzarella and stuff into pocket in bread; you may have to cut the sausage into small pieces for this.
- mix eggs, milk and sugar. dip stuffed bread into egg mixture to coat on both sides.
- cook toast on griddle until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted. i usually flatten the toast with a spatula when cooking.

i haven’t published any asian recipes recently b/c i don’t usually measure when i cook asian food. but i thought i’d post a “recipe” (and i use the term loosely) for how i cook vegetables at home. it’s pretty easy and works will most green vegetables.
oil
garlic, smashed and peeled
salt
green vegetable* (bok choy, chinese broccoli, broccoli, cabbage, napa cabbage, etc.), washed
water
- heat the oil in a pan, i usually use a wok or a saucier pan, on medium. add the garlic into the pan.
- just before the garlic begins to brown, add the vegetable. cook for a few minutes. add enough water to the pan so it just covers the bottom of the pan. season with salt. cook to desired tenderness.
* if you have a vegetable that has a stem and leaf portion (i.e. bok choy, chinese broccoli), separate the stem and leaf portion. add the stem portion to the pan first and cook for a few minutes before adding the leaf portions. the stems usually take longer to cook than the leaves.
