Recipe: Savoury French Toast

Tom Carr | January 22, 2016 | 7:22 am | 1 Comment

Savoury french toast

We used to spend our summer holidays in and around Bright (situated in Victoria’s Alpine region) and this savoury french toast was one of our favourite things to cook up on the barbie – particularly at breakfast!

French toast has always been a favourite of mine, such a versatile base from which you can add a myriad of different things – layer it with ice cream and maple syrup (satisfying those with a sweet tooth) or in this case, create an easy savoury treat for those laid back Sunday mornings.

My savoury French toast is camp friendly, makes use of only a few basic ingredients (which are easy to travel with) and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare – perfect for those Aussie breaks.

Recipe: Savoury French Toast

Prep time:  10 mins

Cook time:  5 mins

Total time:  15 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients
French Toast
  • ⅓ cup low fat milk
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 4-8 slices of bread (depending on size)
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
Service
  • Olive oil
  • Butter
  • Fresh shaved parmesan
Instructions
  1. Preheat barbecue
  2. Whisk milk and eggs in a bowl.
  3. Evenly spread Parmesan across a flat plate
  4. Drench bread in egg mixture before transferring to plate and covering each side in Parmesan
  5. Oil hot plate
  6. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes (or until golden) flip only once! You’re looking for a crispy golden brown exterior.
  7. Layer French toast; add a knob of butter, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parsley! Finish off with some fresh shaved Parmesan…
Tip: I find if you flip the French toast too early the cheese doesn’t have enough time to bond to the bread, instead sticking to the hot plate surface (if this does happen, simply use spatula to lift cheese and flip with toast)!

I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earli I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earlier in the year (between lockdowns!), and tour the Goldfields with @big4holidayparks – Sure, I got my much-needed fix of the outdoors and was able to feed my insatiable curiosity as I explored the regions utterly fascinating history & culture, but it was sitting up at the old bar of family run Munari wines, just outside of Heathcote that got me.
.
 Chatting to the chief winemaker Adrian Munari, and his daughter India (over a lovely red, of course) I heard all about the historic sheep station that was established in 1871, and life on the property today. (I wonder how the farmers endured the pandemic in 1919?)  
 .
Here’s to a happy summer holiday for us all, of enjoying those ‘moments’, wherever we are. 
.
 I based myself at the @BIG4BendigoAscotHolidayPark

Meet James Rainger from @fleetadventures

He not only spends his life taking us travellers on scenic chopper tours over his World-Heritage Listed backyard of the #newengland region – he’s one of the many brilliant pilots who you’ll find hovering above the blazing heat helping fight our Australian Bushfires.

“To be part of the firefighting team is being in the #armidale  community - we all live here, our kids go to school here, so we love it. Armidale is a community where we all band together, we’re very passionate about our backyard, and we hope it shows.. and we certainly hope people come and see what it’s like. We’ve got a unique view of part of the world that not many people get to see.
