The Pancake Stuffed French Toast from [Dude Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menthole-xxtreme) is a meal for those who are really hungry and can’t decide between two delicious breakfast foods.

The French toast is cooked as usual, except in this version, it’s like an egg-in-a-hole that’s been replaced with pancake batter.

As simple as it may seem, cooking this combination of breakfast foods in one go might take a bit of experimentation. Dude Foods advises leaving the French toast in the pan for about 30 seconds before adding a small amount of pancake batter, because the pancakes tend to expand and cook quite rapidly. Unlike the classic egg-in-a-hole, this super breakfast meal goes much better with maple syrup drizzled all over it.
