Almond Toffee Sausage & French Toast Breakfast Platter

Almond Toffee Sausage & French Toast Breakfast Platter

By: Areli - Hopkins, MA - 2016 Recipe Contest

"Drinking coffee and cooking are a couple of my life passions - probably in that order – and this recipe contest gave me an opportunity to combine both. Coffee is a gift from Heaven; I tell my family that I drink coffee for their sake and I’m not kidding. Nothing beats the pleasure of drinking a fresh brewed, dark, bold cup of hot coffee - well almost nothing. I think it can only be beat if combined with a breakfast platter that fuses coffee flavors in three different ways. First the coffee is mixed in a golden and sweet French toast, and then it is melded into the sausage and finally blended with maple syrup along with a pinch of red pepper flakes to fuse the flavors together. Served separately in my favorite mug, this platter gave me an excuse to enjoy coffee from beginning to end."
