Savory French Toast

You know what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Whether you are having a lazy Sunday morning with the paper, or a family celebration, this special breakfast will fit right in to make that first meal of the day something to remember.

This fancy French toast recipe is the perfect way to use up stale bread!

What You Need For This Savory French Toast Recipe

We keep the ingredients here pretty simple, so you will need:

• Bread Slices: a nice sourdough bread is a good option for something a little bit fancy, but feel free to use whatever bread you prefer, from white bread to brioche bread to French baguette. A great way to use up old bread!
• Fresh Eggs
• Milk: regular whole milk, almond milk, or any other milk of your choosing
• Mushrooms: I use portobello, but choose your favorite variety
• Cherry tomatoes
• Bacon
• Garlic: fresh is best
• Olive oil
• Butter
• Coconut sugar: you can use regular brown sugar if preferred
• Salt and pepper
• Parsley and maple syrup to serve (optional)

We are going to get some fantastic flavors with savory mushrooms, smoky bacon, and a little bit of sweetness from the coconut sugar and maple syrup.

How To Make Savory French Toast

If you have made French toast before, then you are an old hand and know that no special skills are required.

If this is your first venture into homemade French toast, don't be scared, this is a super easy meal to whisk up.

The best part about this great recipe is that it all comes together in about 15 minutes, so you will have a delicious breakfast (or dinner) on the table in no time.

Simply:

• Whisk the egg, sugar, and milk together.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan on medium heat with butter.
• Dip both sides of each slice of bread in the egg mixture. Add to the melted butter in the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on each side.
• Transfer the cooked French toast to 2 plates.
• Clean the skillet with some absorbent kitchen paper.
• Heat the skillet on medium heat with the oil. Stir fry the garlic, bacon, and mushrooms until the mushrooms are tender.
• Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 30 seconds, until they are just starting to soften and have been heated through.
• Add salt and pepper to your liking and remove from the heat.
• Top your plated French toast with the mushroom mixture, sprinkle on some parsley, and drizzle with warm maple syrup to serve.

Too easy!

See, easy!

The whole thing should come together in about 15 minutes.

If you want to make savory French toast for more than 2 people, simply adjust the quantities in the recipe as required (hint: there is a little toggle at the top of the recipe card below that will let you change the number of servings).
