Description
French toast or ‘eggy bread’ as we would call it in the UK, is easy to make and feels very luxurious. If you’re looking for a fun variation on mushrooms on toast, this makes a great brunch dish. Bacon would be a lovely addition!
- 2 thick slices white bread
- 1 large egg
- 50ml whole milk
- 250g porcini mushrooms, sliced thickly lengthways
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- 2 small sprigs thyme
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and squashed with the side of a knife or something heavy
- Butter for cooking
- Combine the egg and milk in a shallow bowl, whisking to combine, and season with salt and pepper.
- Melt around 20g (1 thick slice) of butter in a frying pan and add the garlic, thyme and porcini mushrooms. Cook for a moment without stirring to get some colour, then gently turn over. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds longer.
- Remove the garlic and discard it and set the mushrooms aside.
- Dip the bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak in for a minute before turning and repeating.
- Add another thick slice of butter and fry the bread until golden on both sides, a minute or so.
- Serve the mushrooms on top of the French toast.
