MUSHROOM, BACON & TOMATO FRENCH TOAST

• Heat the grill to high. Grill the bacon for 5-6 mins, then set aside.
• 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.

FRENCH TOAST WITH BACON, ONION AND TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Make the filling: Toss the bacon into a large skillet with a few drops of olive oil. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crisp, about 13 minutes. Spoon off about half of the drippings. Add the onion to the pan and season with salt and the red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 more minutes. Add the tomato, season with more salt and cook another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tomato is soft and mushy and most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and reseason if needed. Stir in the oregano and let cool.
• Make the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. In a wide dish, combine the eggs, milk, cayenne (if using) and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and homogeneous.
• Lay 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Sprinkle each piece of bread lightly with cheese (use about half of the cheese). Spoon a quarter of the bacon filling onto each piece of bread, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top each slice with another piece of bread and press to secure. Working in batches, soak each "toast" in the egg mixture, about 1 minute; flip and soak the other side.
• While the toasts are soaking, coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to medium heat. Working in batches so you don't crowd the pan, cook the toasts for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The toasts should be golden brown, lovely and crisp-YUM! Transfer the toasts to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Make the eggs and assemble: Coat a large nonstick skillet lightly with olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the eggs to the pan, working in batches if necessary. Cook until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are warm and runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the toasts from the oven and top each with a perfectly fried egg. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.

SAVOURY FRENCH TOAST WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to about 50 C; you can keep the toast and mushrooms in there to stay warm while you prepare everything.
• Whisk together eggs and milk, seasoning with a little salt and pepper. Pour mixture into a shallow dish so you can dip the bread in easily. Add in most of the parmesan cheese, reserving a little to sprinkle on the toast slices while they're frying.
• Heat a non-stick pan up to a moderate-to-low heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan.
• Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, flipping it over so both sides are soaked. I like to let it sit for about 15 seconds on each side, to make sure the egg mixture is soaked in. Pick up the bread and let the excess drip off for a moment. There should be some parmesan stuck to the bread. Pop the bread into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until dark golden brown. While the bread is cooking, sprinkle over some of the remaining parmesan so you get a lovely extra bit of crisped-up parmesan on the outside. If the bread browns too quickly, reduce the stove temperature.
• Repeat the cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, and keep the slices in the oven to stay warm while you're cooking.
• While the bread is cooking, take a second pan and add 2 tsp olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened. Towards the end of the cooking process, season with salt, pepper and some chopped chives.
• Once everything is ready, serve the French toast with the sliced mushrooms on top, and garnish with extra chives. Add extra parmesan, and a little drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

• Dip bread into egg mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip back into bowl. Wrap 4 slices bacon around each piece of bread. Dip bacon-wrapped bread back into egg mixture.
• Cook 1 piece bacon-wrapped bread in the syrup at a time until bacon is cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side.
