If you have been here before, you know that as much as I love sweet, I love savory even more. And something deliciously salty and just a little bit spicy, like this Savory Herb French Toast, gets my weekend off to the perfect start. What’s not to love? The bread gets all golden and crispy at the edges, and is meltingly tender in the center. It’s garlicky and herby and it gets even better when you serve it with some red hot tomato chutney on the side. If you were in France, you’d use herbes de provence – a melange of savory dried herbs – to make this French toast. But I dug into my garden’s bounty for some fresh, leafy sage and mint, which, I thought, would be great together in here with their sweet and savory yin-yang. You can experiment with the herbs you love: I can see this turning out beautifully with cilantro, or rosemary, or even some marjoram. Use what you have. The Savory Herb French Toast is very simply seasoned, with a dash of salt and pepper and garlic. You really don’t need much more. Try and use a French bread that’s a day or two old, if you can, but any other crusty bread will work well too. I used white French bread, but you can use whole wheat. In fact, it would be great with my homemade Whole Wheat French Bread. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
I don’t like my French Toast too soggy, so I don’t leave it in the “eggy” mix, made with flax eggs, for too long. That way the center gets soft, but the edges remain crusty and crispy. Best of both worlds. If you like French toast with Indian flavors, I have a version on the blog for a Bread Pakora, a savory French toast, Indian-style. That recipe, just as delicious, uses a coating of chickpea flour and spices. If you try this Vegan Savory Herb French Toast, please leave a review and a rating below. Hope you’re looking forward to the weekend. I know I am!
