Perfectly balancing the rich, custardy texture of traditional French toast with a savory medley of herbs, spices, and gourmet ingredients, this recipe is a celebration of creativity in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  1. 4 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or sourdough work well)
  2. 3 large eggs
  3. 1/2 cup whole milk
  4. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  5. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or thyme)
  6. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  7. Salt and black pepper to taste
  8. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  9. 4 slices of prosciutto or smoked salmon (optional)
  10. Poached or fried eggs for topping (optional)
  11. Maple syrup or hollandaise sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan, chopped herbs, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This savory custard will be the key to infusing your French toast with rich, gourmet flavors.
  2. Soak the bread:
    • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow the bread to absorb the savory custard for a few seconds, ensuring a moist and flavorful interior.
  3. Cook the French toast:
    • In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices in the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Layer with indulgence:
    • For an extra layer of decadence, consider adding slices of prosciutto or smoked salmon between the French toast layers. This adds a salty kick that beautifully complements the savory custard.
  5. Top it off:
    • Complete your culinary masterpiece by topping the savory French toast with perfectly poached or fried eggs. The runny yolk adds a luscious and creamy element that harmonizes with the savory notes of the dish.
  6. Serve and savor:
    • Drizzle with a touch of maple syrup for a hint of sweetness or hollandaise sauce for a gourmet touch. Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a burst of color and freshness.
