Savoury Filled French Toast
9 November 2020 / Posted in Breakfast & brunch
French toast is a favourite for both breakfast or brunch. Your toppings or fillings can be either sweet or savoury, all to your own taste. We created a savoury french toast sandwich, but you can play around and make what you prefer.
Ingredients
French Toast:
1 oval shaped loaf of white bread
2 - 3 eggs
15 ml water per egg used
10 ml oil for frying
Filling:
1 small tomato, finely chopped
½ cup (50 g) finely grated Cheddar cheese
6 rashers of bacon, cooked and finely chopped
1 spring onion
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Finely chopped chives or herbs of your choice for garnish
Method
Method:
- Slice bread into thick 5 cm slices. Using a paring knife, cut a deep slit across the top in the middle of each slice to form your pocket. Set aside.
- Mix tomato with cheese, bacon and spring onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper and carefully fill the pocket of each slice of bread. Gently squeeze each slice of bread closed and set aside.
- Heat an AMC 30 cm Electric Frying Pan over a medium temperature (Probe on 6) until the VisiothermⓇ reaches the first red area.
- Meanwhile beat the eggs with water. Once cookware has preheated, spread oil over the base and dip the filled bread slices in the egg bath. Fry both sides until golden brown and heated through. Remove from cookware and keep warm while frying the remaining slices.
- Once cooked, garnish with chives and herbs of your choice and serve immediately.
Variations:
- Vary the fillings accordingly to your preference. Try adding pesto, sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped onions or peppers.
- Use a meat of your choice instead of bacon. Or omit the bacon for a vegetarian option, replacing it with mushrooms.
