Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 6 slices Bread slices (preferably day-old sourdough or country loaf)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Add the parsley, chives, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir well to combine.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and allow the butter to melt.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soaked. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
Place the coated bread slice into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining bread slices. Add more butter and olive oil to the skillet as needed between batches.
Once all slices are cooked, serve the herbed French toast warm. Optionally garnish with additional chopped herbs or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Pair with a fresh salad, avocado, or fried eggs for a complete savory breakfast.
