Prosciutto Bruschetta on thick slices of French toast…does it get any better?!

Ingredients you will need:

• Bread: Thick slices of French bread is what I used for this Prosciutto Bruschetta french toast. It’s soft on the inside, sturdy/holds up well, and is chewy. The bread needs to be dry so I toasted it in the oven at 250°F for 20 minutes, or you can leave out on the counter, sliced, overnight.
  • Pro tip: slightly stale bread is actually the best for making French toast because stale bread absorbs more of the egg mixture than fresh bread will. Other breads to use: brioche, challah, any thick white bread like “Texas Toast.”

Step by Step Directions

1. Make the bruschetta mixture first: in a medium sized bowl combine the diced tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
2. Make the custard for the French toast: whisk the eggs. Then add in the milk and pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk again to incorporate.
3. Dunk bread in custard for 20-30 seconds each side.
4. Coat both sides of bread in shredded Parmesan.
5. Cook French toast in a nonstick skillet, 3-5 minutes each side.
6. Load it up and serve! Top with a slice of prosciutto and a few tablespoons of the tomatoes & basil.

Instructions 

• In a small bowl, mix together diced tomatoes, basil, balsamic, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside and let flavors marinate.
• Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until no streaks of egg remain. Then whisk in the milk and pinch of salt and pepper.
• Drop a piece of the thickly sliced bread into the custard and let sit for 20-30 seconds on each side. Then dunk each slice in Parmesan in a shallow bowl. Coat each side with the cheese. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, 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.
• Top each slice with a slice or two of prosciutto and some of the tomato mixture. Garnish with a drizzle with balsamic reduction and flaky salt if desired. Enjoy!
