A savory twist on the traditional french toast! 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.

Notes

  1. Cook the french toast on the medium-low heat to get it perfectly golden, crispy from outside and soft from inside.
  2. Coat the bread from all the sides by dipping it in the egg mixture. Do not leave the bread in the bowl to soak all the egg mixture. This will leave the bread soggy and uncooked from inside.
