I remember many mornings waking up and seeing my mom in the kitchen making Smazenka. It's basically the Czech savory version of French Toast. So I guess it could be called Czech Toast.
Anthony and I had Monday (Labor Day) off together and I always make breakfast when we have a day off together. I woke up with a strange unexplainable craving for this toast... so I got up early and went to the store to get the missing ingredients and of course COFFEE! Excuse the burnt edges... I had just splashed myself with molten butter and was trying to not catch on fire. I have the battle wounds on my face and chest to prove it... I bet this crap doesn't happen to Paula Deen! Seeing as this is now Anthony's new favorite breakfast, I guess the burns were worth it!
