Basil Bacon Tomato French Toast Recipes

BASIL BACON & TOMATO FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C Place the bacon on a baking tray and cook for 12-15 minutes or until crisp.
• Place the tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 5 minutes or until the skins just split.
• Set aside and keep warm. Place the eggs, cream, parmesan, basil, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Dip the bread in the egg mixture and cook, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until golden.
• Serve with the bacon and roasted tomatoes.

BACON-TOMATO CHEESE TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Core the tomatoes and thinly slice. Place in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let drain for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off and reserve the drippings, leaving 1 tablespoon in the skillet; toast the bread on one side in the drippings until golden (do this in batches, adding more drippings as needed). Place the bread, toasted-side down, on a baking sheet.
• Combine the cheeses with the mayonnaise, scallions and parsley in a bowl. Spread the cheese mixture on the toasts, reserving about 1/3 cup. Crumble the bacon on top. Shake any excess liquid from the tomatoes; distribute the zucchini and tomatoes among the toasts. Dot with the reserved cheese mixture and season with pepper. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

MUSHROOM, BACON & TOMATO FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Put the cherry tomatoes on a baking tray and grill for 5 mins. Mix with the tomato chutney and set aside.
• Fry the mushrooms in ½ tbsp olive oil for 5 mins and set aside.
• Beat the egg with the milk in a shallow dish, add the bread and leave to soak for 1 min, turning once.
• Fry in the butter over a medium heat for 4 mins, then flip and cook for 4 mins more, until both sides are golden. Top with the tomato mix, bacon and mushrooms.

BACON, BASIL PESTO, AND TOMATO SANDWICH
