Morning After French Kiss (French Toast)

John Carkeet

Serves 2

The Astute Bachelor has a breakfast-in-bed strategy that includes serious coffee, freshly squeezed juice, perhaps with a little vodka to lubricate the conversation, and this secret French toast formula. The payoff is good for weeks. Our version uses rich, peel-apart butter-flake rolls as the foundation for a sweet and smoldering apricot-orange sauce with glazed bananas.Look for the rolls at the supermarket bakery or substitute four slices of your favorite bread.
