Review of the Breakfast potatoes and the French Toast Souffle.

We has some friends over for brunch this morning....I had decided to make the potatoes and the souffle both along with some turkey bacon, oj and coffee.
Our guest were set to arrive at 11am...French toast souffle was put together the night before and all went smoothly, the potatoes were in the oven at 9, souffle went in at 10 then at about 10:30 just as i was getting ready to put the bacon in the oven and cook the souffle for another 20-30 min....we heard pop, crack, sizzle.... "what was that?" we ran to the kitchen only to see the heating element in the bottom of the oven sparking and a few small flams. Off when the oven out came all the rest of the food....After we were done scurrying around the kitchen "putting out flames" so to speak and a bit litteral too.
I decided to finish half of the souffle in the microwave and half in the toster oven. Thankfully the potatoes were already all done. First of all, the only alteration I did to the French toast souffle is added in a little cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice to the mixture poured over the bread the night before. I would not reccomending finishing it in the microwave...ever. haha, it was not horrible but was not great either. The half that came out of the toaster oven was delightful. Everyone enjoyed both of the reciepes and we all ate till our hearts content. Over all what could have been a distastor turned out to be a delicious brunch! Thank you ladies.
happy cooking
