Savoury French toast is a delicious, nutritious twist on the traditional sweet version. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. With ingredients like whole-wheat bread, eggs, cherry tomatoes, and avocado, this recipe is both satisfying and healthy. The addition of fresh basil leaves adds a touch of aromatic flavor that elevates the dish to a gourmet level.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly.
- Cut them in half and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk.
- Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.
- Dip each slice of whole-wheat bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak up the mixture slightly but don’t let it become too soggy.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly spray or coat the pan with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Place the coated bread slices onto the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
- While the French toast is cooking, halve the avocado and remove the pit.
- Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
- Once the French toast is ready, transfer the slices to serving plates.
- Spread an even amount of mashed avocado over each slice of French toast.
- Top each slice with the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Finish by garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve the savoury French toast immediately, while warm.
- Optionally, add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Use day-old bread for better texture and to avoid sogginess.
- Whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly to ensure even coating for the bread slices.
- For added flavor, season the egg mixture with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Toast the bread slices on medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning.
- Garnish with extra basil leaves or a sprinkle of your favorite cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
This Savoury French toast recipe is a simple yet delightful dish that promises a burst of flavors with every bite.
