A savoury take on the classic french toast with a golden, cheesy crust, one the table in 5 minutes! And far less calories than the usual french toast, drowning in maple syrup or melting butter….

Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices slightly stale bread (see notes)
- 3 large eggs (or 4 small eggs)
- ½ cup milk (or cream)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place butter in large pan over high heat.
- Lightly whisk eggs, milk, parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Dredge bread into egg mixture, shake off excess, then place into pan. If your pan is large enough, cook all 4 pieces at the same time.
- Scrape any remaining cheese at the bottom to the egg mixture bowl onto the bread in the pan (why waste it?).
- Cook each side until golden - 1 to 2 minutes.
- Eat immediately, while warm!
NOTES
1. I made this recipe with plain white sandwich bread, but you can make it with any bread you want - french stick, sourdough or brioche would especially be great.
2. Use slightly stale bread if you can, that way the bread does not absorb too much of the egg mixture (which can make it soggy on the inside).
