Inspired by the movie "The Breakfast Club" (1985)
I love this movie. Five very different teenagers spend a day in detention and discover and appreciate each other’s differences. They bond together against the enemy, the school establishment. If you have never seen this movie, or it’s been awhile, do yourself a favor and see it. One of the best teen movies made!
French Toast Casserole is the ultimate in breakfast dishes. “The Breakfast Club” movie and this dish share the rhythm of the early morning, but both can be enjoyed any time of the day!!
