Ingredients
Scale
For the Stuffed French Toast:
- 8 slices of crusty bread (such as sourdough or French bread)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the mixture evenly on 4 slices of bread, then top each with another slice to form sandwiches.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the filling is warmed through. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with a side salad for a savory brunch option.
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta or add a handful of baby spinach to the filling for extra greens.
