Savoury French Toast with Bacon and Eggs
French toast with bacon drizzled with maple syrup is not new! The sweet and salty combination has been here for years (and for a good reason!). But this Savoury French Toast with Bacon recipe is something different: cheesy eggy bread and bacon topped with an egg, all scattered with fresh herbs! It's a truly savoury breakfast dish that is a great change from traditional french toast!
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices of brioche
- 2 eggs large
- 90 ml milk
- 40 g parmesan or mature Cheddar, finely grated
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- 20 g butter for frying
- 1 tablespoon odourless oil
Toppings:
- fresh thyme, parsley or chives
- 6 rashers of bacon
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Place grated cheese on a large plate.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, turmeric, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Pur the mixture in a large shallow dish and arrange brioche slices in it. Soak for 10-20 seconds on one side, then carefully flip them over and soak again.
- Heat butter and oil in a large frying pan (or two) if you don't have a large enough pan.
- Gently lift the slices of brioche and dip them in grated cheese, making sure it sticks, and place the cheesy slices straight into the frying pans. Cook on medium heat for approx 2. minutes (without fiddling with them), then gently flip the slices over and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Whilst Savoury French Toast is frying, fry/grill the bacon to your preferred crispiness (How To Cook Bacon?).
- At the same time, fry or poach your eggs (How To Poach An Egg?)
- Serve two slices of savoury french toast with bacon and eggs on top! Scatter fresh herbs all over and enjoy!
