"french toast sandwich" news and stories

This French toast and bacon sandwich could just be the ultimate breakfast sandwich - assuming that you aren't in the least bit worried about your weight and that you enjoy indulging in the morning, of course. It starts off with two thick slices of bread, soaked in an egg and milk mixture then fried into perfectly cooked french toast. The toast is then topped with a generous amount of lightly crisped bacon, allowing the pieces of overlap and for two layers. Once the bacon is in place, pour on some maple syrup and add the top piece of french toast. Eat with a knife and fork.

The end product is salty, sweet, filling and in no way can be considered health food. Ah well. You can't win them all, right?

Burger King now has its own variation on the McDonald's McGriddle. Instead of swathing a sandwich in syrup-filled pancakes, the new French Toast Sandwich uses - you guessed it: french toast. Sandwiched between two round slices of maple-flavored, deep fried french toast is an egg, sausage and cheese filling.

The official nutritional information doesn't appear to be available yet, but it should probably receive honorable mention on the list of the worst foods you can eat. To estimate the fat and calories, I added up the nutritional information for the filling of the Egg, Sausage and Cheese Croissan'wich  (310 calories and 26 grams of fat) and the 5-pc. French Toast Sticks (390 calories and 20 grams of fat) and came up with 700 calories and 46 grams of fat. If it turns out to be anywhere near those numbers, that puts it at about the same fat and calorie content of the Enormous Omelet Sandwich. Yum.
