Parmesan French Toast Recipes

PARMESAN FRENCH TOAST WITH PANCETTA AND EGGS

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 250 degrees F. Whisk 4 eggs, the milk, 1/4 cup cheese, the parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a baking dish; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, flipping, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve the drippings in the skillet.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bread to the egg mixture and let soak, turning once, about 1 minute. Add 4 of the bread slices to the skillet and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cheese. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip, sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cheese and cook until golden and the cheese on the bottom is crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip again and cook until the cheese melts, about 1 more minute. Transfer to the baking sheet to keep warm and repeat with the remaining bread and cheese.
• Heat the skillet with the pancetta drippings over medium heat. Crack the remaining 4 eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set, about 3 minutes. Divide the French toast among plates and top with the fried eggs. Toss the arugula in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add to the plates. Drizzle with the vinegar and season with pepper.
