Masala French Toast

Full of flavour, culinary expert Vijaya’s Masala French Toast recipe is a savoury dish perfect for breakfast or lunch. Serves 2.

4 large eggs
¾ tsp (4 mL), kosher salt
6 slices of white bread
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 thai chillies, finely chopped
1 medium tomato, seeded and finely chopped
¼ cup (60 mL) chopped fresh coriander
3 tbsp (45 mL) ghee or substitute with 3 tbsp (45 mL) of unsalted butter

Place eggs in a bowl, and whisk with salt until well mixed. In another bowl, mix together onion, chillies, tomato, and coriander. Place a large frying pan on medium heat and add 1 tbsp (15 mL) of ghee (for two slices of bread). Quickly dunk two slices of bread into egg mixture, coating both sides. Place in a frying pan, and top with chopped vegetables in one even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Repeat with remaining slices of bread. Garnish with additional chopped fresh coriander before serving.
