Parmesan and Herb Savory French Toast Recipe

A twist on a classic breakfast recipe, this savory French toast takes about 20 minutes to make. It is packed with fresh flavors from herbs and parmesan cheese. Enjoy it on it own or pair it eggs or salad for a hearty breakfast.
Prep: 8 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 4 Slices of Sourdough Bread
  • 3 Eggs
  • 3/4 C. Milk
  • 2 Tbsp. Parsley (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp. Thyme (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp. Chives (minced)
  • 1/2 C. Parmesan Cheese (grated)

Instructions
 

  • Make the egg mixture by combining the eggs, milk and pinch of salt together in shallow dish or pan. Wisk together until fully combined and set aside.
  • Using a large plate or shallow dish, add the grated parmesan cheese, thyme, chives and parsley. Toss together.
  • Taking one slice of sourdough bread at a time, dip it into the egg mixture, being sure to coat both sides. Go straight from the egg mixture to the herb parmesan cheese. Coat both sides of the bread. Repeat until all the bread has been coated in the both the egg mixture and herb parmesan cheese.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the savory French toast to the skillet. Cook until golden brown, then flip and brown the other side. If the toast is browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. You will want to make sure the egg mixture is fully set throughout the sourdough bread. Repeat until all the savory toast has been cooked.
  • Remove from heat and serve with butter and pinch of salt if desired. You can enjoy it on its own or with eggs or salad.
