Here at Easy Meals, we’re always fans of breakfast for dinner, but Crispy Salt and Pepper French Toast takes the notion to a new level. This savory French toast, from the cool website and recent big James Beard award winner Food52.com, can be served with a lovely bowl of berries topped with vanilla yogurt and grated fresh coconut or salty sunflower seeds.
Crispy Salt and Pepper French Toast
For the French Toast:
5 eggs
3 tablespoons half-and-half
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 ½ tablespoon green onions, finely chopped (optional)
1 ½ tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
Vegetable oil
Butter
8 (½-inch) slices day-old bread, cut on the diagonal
For the sauce:
Sriracha sauce
Ketchup
In a bowl or baking dish, beat together eggs with half-and-half, salt, pepper, green onions and cilantro.
Heat a medium or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cover the bottom of the skillet with vegetable oil and add a tablespoon or two of butter for flavor.
Dip the bread triangles into the egg batter, drain off excess and place straight into the hot pan. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side — you want to develop a golden-brown color, and the texture should be crispier than traditional French toast.
Place cooked toasts on a paper towel-lined plate or rack to drain.
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup and hot sauce to your desired heat tolerance.
Serve toasts warm with a side of the spicy ketchup.
Serves 4 to 6.
