A savory twist on the classic french toast. We added some fresh herbs and other flavorful savory ingredients to our batter. The result is a delicious breakfast or brunch dish, topped with a perfectly fried egg with a runny yolk. This is the perfect savory breakfast dish!

Steps
Place eggs, milk, mustard, herbs, garlic, spices, salt, and pepper into a shallow baking dish and whisk together.
Place a large skillet over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons butter and melt. Press 3 slices of bread into the egg mixture to soak. Flip each slice and soak for about 1 minute.
Carefully transfer soaked bread slices to the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes or until nicely browned. Flip each slice and continue to cook until browned and French toast has cooked through, an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the French toast slices from the pan and repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining bread slices.
Top each serving of French toast with a fried egg, sprinkle of salt and pepper and fresh microgreens. Serve.

Kasey on 2024-05-18 (4 stars): Pretty Tasty!! Used English muffins, so there was a little xtra chew. Also pored the remainder of the egg mixture over the last piece...great scrambled eggs! Served with Hatch green chile chicken sausages, gave my brinner some kick. Very pleased, will make again!

Catherine on 2024-02-18 (1 stars): I didn't like this at all. Too much thyme in it. very overpowering over other seasonings. won't try again.
Rahul on 2022-12-27 (5 stars): Great recipe!! The savory ingredients actually pair really well with a little bit of maple syrup as a dipping sauce!
Sara on 2022-04-16 (5 stars): This recipe is fantastic! It’s in our regular breakfast rotation. Even our toddler loves it!
Pam on 2020-03-27 (5 stars): Love your story on how French toast evolved in your life, it's so similar to mine! My mom was born her in the U.S., but we also ate our French toast with ketchup when I was growing up. The first time I saw someone putting maple syrup on French toast, I had the same reaction you did! LOL! I've just gotten turned onto the savory side of French toast and I love it! Can't wait to try your recipe too!
