Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
Additional Ingredients:
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (such as sourdough or brioche)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for cooking)
- Additional herbs and cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
- Dip and Soak: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it soaks for 10–15 seconds per side.

- Serve: Garnish with extra herbs and cheese, if desired. Serve warm with optional accompaniments like sautéed greens, avocado, or a fried egg.
Notes
