Ingredients

• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 pieces Sourdough bread slices
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0 to taste Optional toppings (e.g., avocado slices, smoked salmon, or sautéed mushrooms)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped chives, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt until fully combined.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.

Step 3

Dip a slice of sourdough bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on both sides but not overly soaked.

Step 4

Place the coated bread slice onto the heated skillet. Repeat with another slice of bread if there is space in the skillet while leaving room to flip.

Step 5

Cook the bread slices for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked slices to a plate and repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter and oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Serve the savory French toast hot with optional toppings like avocado slices, smoked salmon, or sautéed mushrooms for an elevated experience.
