Focaccia French Toast
Think outside the bread with this fun twist on the classic brunch dish, which uses fluffy sliced focaccia instead of brioche or challah to make grilled-'til-golden French toast. Don’t forget the yogurt, berries, and a generous drizzle of warm syrup!
Ingreadient:
- 5 large eggs
- 2/3 c. whole milk
- 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Eight 1-in.-thick slices of focaccia
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
- Yogurt, berries, and syrup or honey, for serving
Direction
- In large, shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Working in 2 batches, place 4 pieces focaccia in egg mixture and let soak 3 minutes. Flip and soak 3 minutes more (both sides of bread should be coated with egg).
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet on medium-low. Add 4 pieces soaked bread and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to wire rack. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and remaining 4 pieces of focaccia. Serve topped with yogurt, berries, and syrup or honey if desired.
