Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When looking for bread to use in this recipe, steer clear of the long thin baguette style for this dish. Look for the larger, softer version of French bread.
  • tip 2
    Serve this breakfast dish with a side of fresh berries, peaches or bananas.
