This morning I discovered a wonderful invention: french toast melted cheese toasties. The perfect breakfast or snack before a busy day. It’s got a hit of protein from the eggs, dairy from the cheese and if you use wholemeal bread – complex carbohydrates to keep you energised for a fair while. we also served it with some spinach and baked beans, which gave us some extra vitamins. Seriously: it was GOOD.

Description

Discover the delightful combination of French toast and melted cheese in these savory toasties, perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale

3 eggs
2 tbsp cream or milk
4 slices of good quality bread
A pinch of ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
4 large slices of cheese (preferably something strong like Gruyere)
1 tsp chopped fresh sage

Instructions

In a baking dish large enough to fit the bread slices, whisk together the eggs, cream or milk, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the bread slices in the egg mixture and let them soak for 1 minute on one side, then flip and soak for another minute on the other side.
Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the soaked bread slices to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Place a slice of cheese on two of the bread slices, sprinkle with chopped sage, and top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Continue to cook the sandwiches in the skillet, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve immediately, optionally with a side of spinach and baked beans for extra vitamins.

Notes

This dish pairs well with spinach and baked beans for added vitamins. Try adding sliced apple and ham for a sweet and savory twist. Use wholemeal bread for complex carbohydrates and extra energy.
