Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the Savory French Toast:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 4 thick slices of bread (brioche, challah, or sourdough)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3 large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd cup (120ml) whole milk or half-and-half<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bc teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon onion powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bc teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil, for frying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    For the Toppings:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 4 slices bacon, cooked crispy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00bd cup (55g) shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruy\u00e8re, or mozzarella)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 to 4 large eggs, for topping (1 per serving)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped, for garnish<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Optional: maple syrup, hot sauce, or sriracha<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      1. Cook the Bacon:<\/strong> In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      2. Make the Custard:<\/strong> In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well combined and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      3. Soak the Bread:<\/strong> Dip each slice of bread into the custard, allowing it to soak for 20 to 30 seconds per side, until fully saturated but not falling apart. Let any excess drip off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      4. Cook the French Toast:<\/strong> Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter or oil. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and keep warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      5. Fry the Topping Eggs:<\/strong> In the same skillet or a separate nonstick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      6. Assemble:<\/strong> Place the cooked French toast slices on plates. Top with shredded cheese (the residual heat will melt it), crispy bacon, and a fried egg. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      7. Serve:<\/strong> Serve immediately with maple syrup, hot sauce, or sriracha on the side if desired. Break the egg yolk and let it run over the French toast for maximum flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n
