fancy french toast

I love to start the weekends with a delicious breakfast. Here you see banana streusel French toast, and thick cut bacon. I find it easiest (and cleanest) to simply bake the bacon in a sheet pan, 400 degree oven, until it is the crispiness we desire. Then you can drain it on paper towels and pour off the bacon drippings to refrigerate for other uses (sometimes we fry our eggs in bacon drippings - decadent!).
