Description
Savory French Toast is a captivating twist on the traditional sweet breakfast favorite, infused with a rich and creamy custard, and packed with savory flavors like cheese, herbs, and garlic.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup grated cheese (Parmesan, Gruyère, or sharp Cheddar)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or thyme)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated cheese, chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 30 seconds per side.
3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of unsalted butter. Once melted and hot, place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove the Savory French Toast from the skillet and serve immediately.
Notes
Choose thick-sliced, sturdy breads that can hold up to the custard without becoming overly soggy. Experiment with different cheese and herb combinations for unique flavors.
