Egg in the basket french toast with smoked salmon, roasted beets, and mustard creme fraiche

Roast

Roasting

I loved seeing Merrill's ode to the one-eyed sandwich on the blog. Growing up, we called it an egg in the basket, and I still love making them for my family. Add the custardy goodness of french toast and you've got a great holiday breakfast mash-up. The traditional sweet flavorings of french toast batter are replaced with cumin. The smoked salmon, roasted beets, and mustard creme fraiche are a quick and elegant addition.
