Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 8 slices thick bread sourdough or whole grain works best
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage optional
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or chives)
- Butter or oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme until well combined.
- Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread is well-coated but not overly soggy.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat until hot.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Add Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each slice. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.
- Optional Toppings: If using, sprinkle cooked bacon or sausage over the cheese before removing from the skillet.
- Serve Immediately: Once cooked, transfer the Savory French Toast to a serving platter or individual plates.
- Garnish: Top with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
