French toast is a delicious breakfast or brunch treat, but it often comes oozing with sweetness. While we love a good sweet treat here at Bakers Delight, we didn’t want the savoury-lovers out there to miss out. That’s why we’ve created a savoury French toast recipe to add to your repertoire!

To make our French toast savoury, we’ve used Parmesan cheese and onion and garlic powder, which add a strong and hearty flavour to the dish. For the topping, we chose sauteed garlic mushrooms, which add earthiness and bite. Add a poached egg on top with some cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs to lift the dish, and you’ve got a show-stopping cheesy French toast that you’ll want to make again and again.Try it today for a cafe-style breakfast or brunch in the comfort of your own home!

FAQ’s

What’s the difference between eggy bread and French toast?

The terms ‘eggy bread’ and ‘French toast’ are interchangeable, with the British tending towards the former when it comes to this breakfast favourite. No matter what you call it though, it’s ultimately bread soaked in an egg mixture that’s fried and topped with either sweet or savoury ingredients.

Is French toast supposed to be savoury? 

Whether you choose to have your French toast sweet or savoury is completely up to you, and there are no rules as to how it’s ‘supposed’ to be served. That said, the sweet variety is certainly more common.

How long should you soak bread for French toast?

When it comes to soaking bread for French toast, it’s best to leave it for at least 10 minutes to ensure that the mixture has soaked through the bread. It’s worth the wait as this will create a custardy centre that melts in your mouth.
