Savoury french toast

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:

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
90g
2 eggs
100g
2 tbsp milk (1% fat)
30g
4 slices whole-wheat bread
140g
1/2 avocado
100g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly.
- Cut them in half and set aside.
2. Make the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk.
- Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.
3. Prepare the Bread:
- 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 donโ€™t let it become too soggy.
4. Cook the French Toast:
- 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.
5. Prepare the Avocado:
- 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.
6. Assemble the Dish:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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. The combination of fresh basil, creamy avocado, and juicy cherry tomatoes creates a harmonious balance that's both nourishing and satisfying. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a light meal, this recipe will not disappoint.
