Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or sourdough)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- optional Optional toppings (e.g., extra chives, Parmesan, or a dollop of sour cream)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chopped chives, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let any excess mixture drip back into the bowl.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, swirling it around to coat the surface.
Place the coated bread slice into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Once all the slices are cooked, transfer the chive French toast to serving plates.
Garnish with optional toppings such as additional chopped chives, a sprinkle of Parmesan, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory Chive French Toast!
