French toast is traditionally considered a sweet breakfast dish, but it can also be transformed into a savory delight. This recipe combines creamy avocado, juicy tomato, and a perfectly poached egg for a nutritious and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or sourdough)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 large tomatoes
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh basil or chives for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the savory French toast batter. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the coated bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Preparing the Toppings
While the French toast is cooking, slice the avocados and tomatoes. For the poached eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and carefully slide in the eggs. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Assembling the Dish
Place the cooked French toast on serving plates. Spread sliced avocado and tomato over each slice. Carefully add a poached egg on top of each piece. Garnish with fresh basil or chives for added flavor and color.
This savory French toast makes a perfect brunch or a hearty breakfast. Its combination of creamy, tangy, and savory flavors will delight your taste buds and provide a balanced meal.
