A savory twist on French toast featuring Parmesan, melted mozzarella, and tomato.
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices sourdough bread
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Pesto and Pastabilities seasoning
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp butter
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- fresh basil, for garnish
Directions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan, Pesto and Pastabilities seasoning, and salt.
Allow the mixture to rest for 3–5 minutes so the dried herbs can hydrate.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt half the butter.
Dip each slice of sourdough into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Place two slices of bread in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and the egg coating is fully cooked.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining bread and butter.
Return the cooked French toast to the skillet over low heat. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cover briefly until the cheese melts.
Top with sliced tomatoes and fresh basil. Serve warm.
Serving idea: Add a fried egg on top for a more filling breakfast.
