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.

    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!

    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!

    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.
