Easy French Toast Recipe

This French toast features slices of bread soaked in a mixture of eggs, milk, and herbs, then cooked until golden brown. Topped with melted cheese, it’s perfect for serving with a side salad or fresh fruit.

Ingredients

• 4 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or sourdough)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup grated cheese (such as cheddar, feta, or goat cheese)
• 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or thyme), chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter for frying
• Optional: additional cheese for topping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
3. Heat the Pan: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
4. Cook the French Toast: Add the soaked bread slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add Cheese: If desired, sprinkle additional cheese on top of the French toast during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
6. Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
