Gouda Herb French Toast Recipe

It’s no big secret that we love French Toast around here. This time, I wanted to mix it up a little and make a savory French Toast. It was so delicious, I can’t believe that I haven’t tried it before.

I have a weakness for smoked cheeses, especially Gouda. I though it would be a perfect for this French Toast, it really was! I got some fresh herbs from my garden as well. I do hope that you try it and like it as much as we did!

One good thing about living in Florida, is the fact that I can have an herb garden outside, year-round. The weather had been horrible, it’s 50 one day and almost 80 the next day. That could be the reason why everyone is sick here. For the most part, this winter has been very warm though. Personally, I hate it, but I like the fact that I can have an herb garden at all times.

    I think I will surprise my savory friends with this; I think they will love it. My neighbor just thinned his herb garden and gifted me with several pots of herbs – instant garden. Love your photos.

    This looks absolutely delicious and pretty easy to make. My family are all smoked gouda fans, so this may have to make an appearance at our dinner table this week.
    I found you via the Finding the Pretty & Delicious Linky Party. Cheers!

    OMG! I am not a french toast fan, but this I could get behind (the Mr. would probably say that I’d eat anything with cheese…and he’s mostly right!) I’m pinning this one!

    I am making this tmrw and can’t wait!! Ok so two questions. When you say cut the bread but not all the way I don’t understand. Because the next step is cooking the bread and flipping it until both sides are cooked. When do I break it apart? I am so confussed. Lol maybe I am too literal?
    Second question this you can laugh at, do I accompany the gouda french toast with maple syrup or no?? Beautiful pictures!!! Thank you for the inspiration and answering my silly questions. -Terrin

      Hey there!
      No worries 🙂
      When you cut your bread into 4 or so 1-inch slices, then cut each one of those slices in the middle so you will be able to stuff each slice of bread with cheese in the middle. You don’t want to cut it all the way through so nothing slides around. Then
      you will cook each stuffed slice.
      Since this is a savory dish, I wouldn’t put maple syrup on it. You can add some butter on top but I wouldn’t use the sweet syrup.
      I hope you enjoy it!
