I will be remaking an old classic, French Toast, but with a twist, stuffed to the brim with red and yellow sweet peppers, mushrooms, smoked Salmon Cream Cheese and Cheddar Cheese.
Ingredients:
2 slices dark brown bread
(I used a tasty Rooibos & Rye Bread - Rooibos is an indigenous plant that only grows in the Cederberg mountan range in the Western Cape in South Africa. The Khoisan people have been using the leaves to make tea for about 300 years already.
This is available commercially, has a distinctive flavour and is known for its many health benefits.)
Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese
Red & Yellow sweet Peppers, diced
Mushrooms, diced
Cheddar Cheese, grated
2 Eggs, beaten and seasoned
Butter
Cut the centre part out to make a kind of bread 'frame'.
Spread cream cheese generously onto the cutout rectangular shape
Fry peppers and mushrooms in a little butter, then divide into two heaps to fit inside the bread 'frame'.
Add a tiny bit of olive oil and extra butter to the pan and frame peppers and mushrooms with the bread.
Turn heat down to medium-low, and carefully pour beaten egg into centre of bread.
Place a generous amount of grated cheese on top. I spread this slice with a little extra cream cheese.
Seal the filling with the rectangular cut-out piece, press down a little.
Now for the tricky part - carefully turn the sandwich over to brown the other side.
Revealing delicious caramelised peppers.
Turn it over again to ensure eggs are set.
Crispy fried cheese all around the edges.
Turn sandwiches over again to show off the red & yellow peppers, halve it for the guys.
The gals will prefer a smaller sandwich, so quarter it.
Note: My character Mama made a very similar sandwich a couple of months ago here on steemit, but this one has new additions and never been seen on SSC.
wow, bookmarking this, my family will love this
Thank you for stopping by @sayee, it was much nicer than regular French toast or a boring toasted sandwich :)
That is so cool how you made the pockets. When I first seen the cut outs I thought you were about to get rid of the crust. Although I don't remember ever trying smoked salmon cream cheese this looks like a delicious sandwich.
It really was yummy, I will add some smoked chicken or ham to the peppers next time, nice meeting you @smawkward :)
Nice to meet you too. Best of luck with the contest.

The preparation steps surprised me. But most definitely a must try, looks delicious!
Thank you @fknmayhem, it's a nice change from the usual boring toasted sandwiches hey :)
That's cool. It's simple and looks amazing. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you & also for the drotto upvote @dreamingirwin :)
That is one fancy sandwich with very good detail and photos of the preparation process, it is a winner in my book without even tasting it.
Thank you mr Papper, hope your Ford visit was better this time :)
It was, you can read about it in today's daily dose or just take my word for here. Thanks.
This is damn lovely @lizelle, I hope you win
Thanks a stack @tfame3865 :)
That looks so nom! I want to try heh, and yes, I want a smaller piece. For the meat eater inside of me, I would also require bacon.
Thank you @skycae, I totally agree bacon or even smoked ham would have made this even better! Next time for sure ;)
Wahh.. I love mozerella cheese and bell pepper. I will try your recipe @lizelle
Thanks @modernmclaire, your debut entry looked very good as well :)
Very creative! Nicely done. Lots of flavor and texture. Good luck!
Thank you @tesscooks4u, I really liked your entry as well :)
I dreamt of french toast last night @lizelle . I had one large loaf left over from yesterday and I was thinking what would work for brekkie :) ps. love the quote.
Try a variation on the theme @intrepidsurfer :)
Congrats with that rice burger, I thought it was awesome!
I am off to the market tomorrow and will try a variation. Rice burger has been remade for a meal and was delicious.
These were very good, I love this sandwich good entry friend @lizelle
Thanks @yesslife, you again did very well with week 28, looking forward to this week's entry :)
Wow @lizelle this looks like an amazing sandwich. My husband loves French toast, so will definitely have to make it this weekend!
Thanks @leighleigh, it was quite filling this sandwich so would make a nice lunch, try a variation on the theme?
Ja maybe something with bacon? And I also love the Rooibos rye bread by the way :)
Bacon or even smoked ham would be nice, I should have added something meaty, hope hubby enjoys the French toast :) Remember to take pics and enter before Monday EST 11:59, check the rules, must have the sign in your pics.
Thanks Lizelle but I don't think I'll enter, I'm too lazy! I just got home from my 2nd job which is working in my brother's gym, and Brian (hubby) hadn't done the dishes, so tomorrow he can have toast with marmalade! LOL
That's not being lazy! Hubby should make his own toast tomorrow :):)
Hello friend how are you, how is the grandmother, that sandwich looks very tasty, I follow very closely that contest I hope you win!
Hi @jennimorillo, keeping well here in the sweltering heat, can't wait for winter! Mom Lily is as cheeky as ever so must be well hey :):)
Thanks for your support, but there's some amazing sandwich makers there!
Yes of course, but yours at least seems original to me.
What a niece recipe!
You go girl;)!
Thank you @sweetsandbeyond, your entry last week was amazing, congrats on second place!
This looks great! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Thanks @artmom, you should enter as well, I've seen your creativity ;)
Thank you:-)
I liked your entrance a very original sandwich, I also love the paprika, how was it?
Thanks @andrina, it was very tasty and filling as well, we had it for lunch!
This looks so delicious!
Thanks @artwatch, it was very satisfying for a light lunch and super tasty :)
By the way, I like what you say on your blog about someone calling you maam, I know the feeling LOL
Wow....
This is a truly amazing piece Lizelle! Very Creative this must have been absolutely delicious.
I really like the "Bread Frame" idea you empolyed. Very distinctive. I don't believe anybody has tried this in SSC as of yet.
Great choice of fresh ingredients to implants as well. And of course I love smoked salmon & cream cheese. Bell Peppers too!
Interesting choice for the bread.. I've had Rooibos tea (it's really great) however, I've never heard of it as a bread ingredient. Thanks for the background info on that!
All in all a very impressive entry! Did you put Maple syrup on it too?
Ohh btw love the sign, looks like it's from a fancy pants resto ;)
Thanks @jaybird, it was a remake of one I did a while back, was delicious & made for a very satisfying lunch! Never thought of having it with maple syrup though, sounds real nice!
Regarding the rooibos tea, it's excellent in spicy fruit muffins/ cake as well. One soaks the raisins etc in the tea :)
