Savory French Toast for Breakfast
Do you prefer sweet or savory breakfast? I love sweet breakfast but I always lean towards savoury. Have you heard of savory french toast then? Traditionally, french toast is sweet and is served with maple syrup or honey. I do love classic french toast but this savory version is my go-to lately.
Is it always hard for you to choose between pancakes and french toast? Well, problem solves. I gave your weekend brunch menu a new, savory addition. You don’t have to choose anymore, you can make both!
I have added fresh cilantro and cumin seeds to bring out the flavours. And of course the delicious TOPPINGS: fresh tomatoes, lime juice and fragrant mint leaves bring the whole recipe together making it a perfect breakfast or brunch dish. The recipe is delicious, comforting and super easy to make.

Notes
- Cook the french toast on the medium-low heat to get it perfectly golden, crispy from outside and soft from inside.
