Savory Chive French Toast

From the Cindy Burke collection
Serves 2

Introduction

I like to make this savory version of French toast using freshly snipped chives. Serve the warm toast with a drizzle of crème fraîche and a thin slice of salmon lox. A basted egg with a bit of lemony hollandaise sauce is also a good topper.

Ingredients

1 egg
½ cup milk
2 Tbsp. chives, snipped or minced
4 slices challah bread
4 slices smoked-salmon lox
2 Tbsp. crème fraîche or sour cream
~ Lemon wedges

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the chives. Soak four slices of challah bread in the batter for about one minute on each side.
  2. Cook on a lightly buttered griddle until brown on each side and warmed through. Serve two slices of French toast on a warm plate with two slices of smoked-salmon lox, a wedge of lemon, and crème fraîche.
