This Bruschetta French Toast with Parmesan Crust is a fun savory way to enjoy traditional french toast for breakfast or brunch! 

We have arrived at another Recipe Redux themed post! This months theme is…

August 2017 – Theme

For some reason, I could not get my mind off of french toast! I know french toast is not the most protein packed breakfast out there, but pair it with some scrambled eggs and you’re golden! I told myself for some reason I just HAD to make it for this blog post. Plus, I don’t think I have a french toast recipe posted yet (which is bizarre) so this was a perfect opportunity.

As you are well aware, french toast typically has very sweet flavors – maple syrup with butter/whip cream is standard. I wanted to switch things up so I came up with a Parmesan crusted french toast and topped it with a bruschetta inspired tomato mixture + Prosciutto. YUM!

PIN this recipe for later!

Ingredients

• SF style sourdough bread cut 1 inch thick (I used 1/2 loaf)
• 8 slices Prosciutto
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup Parmesan freshly grated
• 2-3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 3 Roma tomatoes diced
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• Fresh basil chopped (6-7 big leaves)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together diced tomatoes, basil,  olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper. Set aside and let flavors marinate.
2. Whisk eggs in a small bowl and add in a splash of water, salt and pepper. Take each 1 inch slice of bread and dip both sides in egg mixture and then coat in the grated Parmesan.
3. In a large skillet, melt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter and cook bread slices for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden brown. Repeat this with remaining bread and use more butter in pan if needed.
4. Top each slice with prosciutto and tomato mixture. Drizzle with a balsamic reduction if desired and serve with scrambled eggs. Enjoy!
