How to Make Basil Bacon Tomato French Toast

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place 4 slices of bacon on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy.
2. While the bacon cooks, toss 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a separate baking sheet. Roast for 5-7 minutes, or until skins begin to split.
3. Set aside the cooked bacon and roasted tomatoes; keep warm.
4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
5. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Dip 6 slices of your favorite bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast recommended) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
7. Cook the French toast in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Serve immediately, topping each slice of French toast with crispy bacon and roasted tomatoes. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired.
