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.
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 tbs of oil for greasing the pan
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbs minced fresh herbs dill weed and parsley
- 2 tbs milk

Instructions
- Directions:
- 1. Preheat a medium sized pan with the oil, on medium heat.
- 2. Whisk the eggs, milk, herbs and salt together.

- 4. Add the Gouda cheese slices in the middle of the bread slices.
- 5. Dip the bread in egg mixture.
- 6. Saute on medium heat, for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- 7. After you flip the French Toast, grate some cheese on top of the cooked side.
- Serve with butter and Enjoy!!

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!

terrin says
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!
