Make it your own!
Like any good cheeseburger, cheeseburger French toast is yours to make your own. Only you can decide what goes best with it, but here are some of our recommendations. First, caramelized onions are divine here. These soft, and onions bring out a lot of the deeper flavors of the meat and French toast out and play nicely with the acidity of the tomato. You can also substitute ground beef to breakfast sausage for a more traditional breakfast sandwich.
You could easily add some burger sauce or thousand island dressing for a more robust flavor. You can also experiment with the mustard, swapping yellow for a bright and spicy beer mustard, or maybe a more tart Dijon. If you want a little smokiness, and heat you can substitute Dan-O’s spicy for Dan-O’s Chipotle. No matter what you do to spruce up your cheeseburger French toast, you’re bound to have a craving for it time and time again.

You can also do a Monte Cristo version with meat (or lunch meat) of your choice and Swiss cheese…and I highly suggest bacon topping. Powdered sugar optional and use raspberry or strawberry jam for dip.
