Рецепт “Waffled” Breakfast Club Sandwich
I came of age in the 80s. I wore leg warmers, neon colors, Flashdance-influenced sweatshirts, and designer jeans. My hair has been pink, asymmetric, and teased up high (just not all at once). I have been a punk, a prep, and a rocker.
Circa 1985. Such babies.
I feel old.
No really— I feel ancient.
The Breakfast Club, that quintessential teenage-angst dramedy of the mid 80s, that film I loved, that film that spoke to a generation (or at least to me) is nearing its thirtieth anniversary.
Is Judd Nelson really wearing “cheaters”?
Ouch!
I chose this film for my first hosting gig at Food ‘n Flix for a couple of reasons. Obviously, the title involves a foodie reference and I was feeling nostalgic. I know, I know—there is not a lot of food in the film. Other than the title and the lunch scene, that is about it. I hope everyone was up for a challenge.
I have to admit that after re-watching this film I thought, “Good grief, what have I done? What was I thinking?” But, I soon landed on an idea. I knew that I had to do breakfast and maybe put a spin on a sandwich.
Here is my contribution to this month’s Food ‘n Flix.
“Waffled” Breakfast Club Sandwich
Step 1: Make the French Toast Batter
Ingredients:
- 2 farm fresh eggs
- 1 c. whole milke
- 1 t. pure vanilla
- 3 T. flour
- 1/8 t. fine sea salt
- 1 T. local honey
Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour into a shallow bowl or an 8 x 8 baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Waffled French Toast
Ingredients:
6 slice whole wheat bread
1 batch of French Toast Batter (see above)
Preheat waffle maker.
Dip the bread, a slice at a time, into the better being sure to coat each side well. When waffle maker is hot, place the bread in the waffle maker and close the top, pressing down lightly. Cook until golden brown according to waffle maker’s instructions. Repeat with the remaining pieces of bread.
Step 3: Assemble the sandwich
Ingredients:
2-3 cooked sausage patties
2-3 fried eggs
2-3 T. granola
maple syrup
Place one waffled slice on a plate. Top with sausage. Top that with another waffled slice. Top with egg. (For a triple-decker, top that with another waffled slice. This recipe makes two triple-deckers or three double-deckers.) Sprinkle with granola and drizzle with maple syrup.
I used “waffled” French toast just for the weirdness factor. Let’s face it, teenagers are weird. The granola sprinkle is a reference to Allison’s really bizarre Cap’n Crunch sandwich.
What do I think the “The Breakfast Club” would think about this dish?
And, Vice Principal Vernon, what would he think? You know, I really don’t care. He is an embarrassment to the principal profession.
Stay tuned for the round-up of all the Food ‘n Flix participants’ posts for this month.
