Indulge in a delightful brunch experience with Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Stuffed French Toast. Creamy, tangy filling encased in golden, crispy bread creates a perfect harmony of flavors, making this dish a savory twist on the classic sweet French toast.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta. Set aside.
2
Make the French Toast Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and dried oregano.
3
Assemble the Stuffed French Toast: Spread the cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices to make sandwiches.
4
Dip and Cook: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Cook the stuffed French toast until golden brown on both sides.
5
Serve: Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and arrange on plates. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Additional tips
For a shortcut, you can use store-bought hollandaise sauce, but preparing it from scratch adds an authentic touch.
Experiment with different types of smoked salmon for varied flavors, such as dill-infused or peppered varieties.
Ensure your eggs are as fresh as possible for the best poaching results.
If you prefer a non-traditional twist, consider adding a sprinkle of capers or a dash of hot sauce for extra zing.
Serve with a side of mixed greens or a light fruit salad to balance the richness of the dish.
