Ingredients

  • 3 extra large eggs
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated/chopped
  • 3 tbsp red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup grated old cheddar cheese
  • 3 thick slices of white bread
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl, gently whisk together the eggs, red pepper, garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt and milk until well combined.
  • Add the cheese and mix with a fork.
  • Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish or deep plate for dipping the bread.
  • Heat oil in a pan on low heat until hot.
  • Dip the bread to absorb the egg mixture, then turn over with a spatula to dip the other side.
  • Using the spatula, transfer the bread to the pan and cook until golden brown, then turn and cook the other side.
  • Remove the French toast to a plate and keep warm — repeat for the remaining slices.
