For breakfast we made a maple bacon crumble French toast with a cream cheese drizzle. This recipe can be made on a budget and satisfy a large group of people. The ingredients were obtained these ingredients at Kroger, but all of the items can be found at any grocery store. We really enjoyed making this dish and we hope that you enjoy it as well.
