Oreo Stuffed French Toast

I can not take credit for this.

The truth is, we happened to have Oreos in the house thanks to the PickyPalate Popover experiment, and Jon had an unexpected day off. It seems that whenever he’s home on a weekday, I’m forced to make some kind of breakfast. Of course, usually it’s popovers, but he saw the leftover blue package of cookies and the Oreo Stuffed French Toast melee ensued.

Oreo Stuffed French Toast. The typing of that phrase alone almost makes me diabetic, but the fat girl in me gets giddy thinking about it. Who doesn’t love a chocolaty, sweet Oreo? Who doesn’t love French Toast? Why NOT combine the two? It’s really simple logic.

Try it for yourself, but be warned…two pieces are enough. Three leads to the need for insulin.

Somehow, somewhere, there’s beauty in that.
