Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast:

  • 4 slices of whole-grain or white bread (preferably a day or two old)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (any type, dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced, such as cremini or button mushrooms)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (sliced, optional)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish (optional):

  • Fresh parsley or basil (chopped)
  • Grated cheese (optional, such as Parmesan or feta)

Instructions

Prepare the French Toast:

  1. Make the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the Pan: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter.
  3. Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the French toast from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Sauté the Mushrooms and Onion (if using): In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the mushrooms and onion (if using) over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until softened and browned.
  2. Add Garlic and Spinach: Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts down. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Combine and Cook: Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for another minute or so, and then remove from heat.

Assemble the French Toasts:

  1. Fill the Toasts: Take each slice of French toast and top with a generous amount of the spinach and mushroom filling.
  2. Serve and Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or basil and a sprinkle of grated cheese. Serve immediately while warm.
