Tips for Making the Best Savory Parmesan French Toast

  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread like sourdough or challah will hold up well to the egg mixture and not get soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the French toast in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the bread.
  • Don't flip the French toast too often. This will break up the bread and make it less crispy.
  • Serve the French toast immediately. It's best when it's hot and crispy.
  • Get creative with your toppings. Try different types of cheese, meats, vegetables, and sauces.

Conclusion

Savory Parmesan French toast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its crispy bread, gooey cheese, and savory toppings, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy French toast, give this recipe a try.
