Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Execution
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta. Set aside.
Make the French Toast Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and dried oregano.
Assemble the Stuffed French Toast: Spread the cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices to make sandwiches.
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.
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.
