Here it is the day after Thanksgiving! I can’t believe I actually have the nerve to be cooking. My Mom and sister were here visiting and we had a wonderful time. The time always goes by too fast. Today, I had a spur-of-the-moment thought for a recipe and wanted to try it out, French Toast in the Instant Pot.
Happy Accidents
My initial intent was to make Indian Bread pudding. Although the recipe I am sharing calls for most of the same ingredients, it didn’t turn out the same as I thought bread pudding would. It sure was delicious, though, and worth sharing the how-to. I am considering this more of a french toast casserole. I learned a few things that I would do differently next time and of course will share with you here today.
Diets During The Holidays
I’ve been falling off the Weight Watchers wagon these days. It’s so hard around the holidays. I have, for the most part though, still cut out lots of calories. I had no dinner rolls with my Thanksgiving dinner and I only had a little sliver of pie instead of a big huge piece with ice cream.
My Mom and I had to sample this while warm. You can even tell the whipped cream is melting a tad on here. We were both in awe of how wonderful it tasted.
I would consider this for breakfast or as a dessert. Add a few blueberries on top and call it healthy-ishhhhh. 🙂
The recipe could have easily been doubled and I will share it that way accordingly.
Of course, you first need the INSTA-PAN.

A few ingredients you will need for this recipe. Some you may have on hand already. I think this would make a wonderful Christmas morning treat for the family! Of course with a little bacon on the side. Pin it, make it, share it:)
