How to Make Savoury French Toast
This recipe couldn’t be easier.
First, heat a frying pan on medium heat. Then…
Step 1 – In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, cheese, dried herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2 – Soak the bread for a moment on either side. The time you want to soak it will depend on how thickly cut and stale the bread is.
Step 3 – Add some butter to the pan and fry the French toast until golden before turning it over and frying the other side.
If you’re cooking for a crowd, keep the cooked toast warm in an oven on very low heat.

French Toast Substitutions, Freezing, and Reheating Tips
While it’s a bit hard to substitute eggs in this dish, you can substitute the bread for gluten-free varieties and use dairy-free milk like soy or almond milk if you prefer.
You can freeze cooked French toast by placing the slices on a tray lined with baking paper, then transferring the frozen French toast to a zip-lock bag. Freeze for up to three months.
Reheat from frozen in the air fryer, oven, toaster, or grill/broiler.
