Savoury French Toast is a delightful twist on the classic sweet version, offering a rich, flavorful breakfast or brunch option. Instead of sugar and cinnamon, this recipe features eggs whisked with savory seasonings like herbs, garlic, and cheese. The bread is soaked in this mixture and pan-fried to golden perfection, resulting in a crispy exterior and soft, flavorful interior. Serve it with a side of fresh greens, sautéed vegetables, or avocado for a balanced and satisfying meal. It’s perfect for those who prefer a savory start to their day!
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut, like sourdough or brioche)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or chives), chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated cheese, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Soak the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let the bread soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the French toast: Heat butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Serve the savory French toast hot, garnished with extra herbs or cheese if desired. It pairs perfectly with sautéed spinach, tomatoes, or a side salad.
This Savoury French Toast is a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy a savory breakfast or brunch with a gourmet twist!
