Savory French Toast

If the term “French toast” brings to mind a tall stack of eggy, cinnamony bread with a pat of butter and streams of maple syrup dripping down the sides, you’re not alone. Sweet French toast is, by far, the most common interpretation of the classic breakfast dish.

However, not everyone is a sweets-for-breakfast lover. If you’re one of the many who prefer a savory start to the morning, you probably don’t find yourself ordering (or preparing) dishes like pancakes or French toast very often, no matter how delicious they seem.

Well, that all ends today.

Savory French Toast lets you enjoy that classic stack of grilled, eggy bread in your favorite breakfast flavors, like garlic, onion, cheese, and bacon.

Try two savory twists on the classic French toast with our below recipes for Parmesan-Herb French Toast with Bacon and Hollandaise Sauce, and Everything Bagel French Toast.
