Sunday Brunch: BLT French Toast
I love savory French toast. And when you combine salty, fried, eggy bread with bacon, tomatoes, and fresh, crunchy shredded romaine, you get a brunch that will set you straight no matter what you got yourself into the night before. Serious Eats 1/28/14
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
8 slices Italian bread
1 lb bacon (about 16 slices)
4 Tbs butter
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
4 leaves romaine lettuce
2 Tbs mayonaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sliced scallions, to garnish
1. Whisk together eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper. Dip both sides of each piece of bread in the egg mixture and the bread sit in the egg mixture while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Working in batches, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, draining the bacon on paper towels. Carefully pour out the bacon fat and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
3. In the cleaned skillet melt half the butter over medium heat. Once the butter begins to sputter, add half the soaked bread slices, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until second side has browned, a few minutes longer. Transfer to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with remaining bread and butter.
4. Divide slices of bread between 4 plates, top each slice with some torn romaine lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, two pieces of bacon and a dollop of mayonnaise. Season each plate with salt and pepper and garnish with sliced scallions.
