About Savory french toast

Savory French toast is a twist on the traditional sweet breakfast dish, originating from French cuisine and enjoyed globally. Instead of sugar or syrup, savory French toast uses ingredients such as eggs, milk, herbs, cheese, and savory spices. It is often served with tomatoes, avocado, or protein-rich toppings like smoked salmon. Nutritionally, this dish provides a moderate amount of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, depending on the bread choice. Whole-grain bread increases fiber content, while eggs contribute essential amino acids and fats. The addition of vegetables and herbs enhances its micronutrient profile, providing vitamins like A, D, and K, as well as minerals such as calcium and iron.

Health Benefits

• Provides protein from eggs, contributing to muscle repair and growth (6-8 grams per large egg).
• Rich in vitamin D from eggs, supporting bone health and immune function.
• Contains dietary fiber if prepared with whole-grain bread, aiding digestion and promoting gut health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains eggs, milk, gluten (if using regular bread), cheese (if added)

Suitable for: Lacto-ovo vegetarian, low-carb diets (with appropriate bread choice)

Not suitable for: Vegan diets, gluten-free diets (if regular bread is used)

Selection and Storage

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or skillet for best texture. Avoid freezing due to potential texture changes.
