Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 slices sturdy bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • 2 tablespoon fresh herbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Unsalted butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the custard: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated cheese, chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Soak the bread: 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 to absorb the custard.
  3. Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of 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. Serve: Remove the Savory French Toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese.
