Savory French Toast With Red Pepper Coulis Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl or baking dish, beat together eggs with half-and-half, salt, pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
• Heat a medium or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cover the bottom of the skillet with vegetable oil and add a tablespoon or two of butter for taste.
• Dip the bread triangles into the egg batter, drain off any excess, and place straight into the hot pan.
• Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side - you want to develop a golden-brown color and the texture should be crispier than traditional French toast.

• In a small bowl, mix together ketchup and hot sauce to your desired heat tolerance.
