Ingredients
- 4 slices rustic bread - thick sliced
- 1 cup whole milk
- 5 large eggs - whisked
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cloves garlic - minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro - finely chopped
- 2 ounces aged cotija - crumbled or grated
- 1 teaspoon sea salt and fresh ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Add eggs, milk, ground cumin, cotija, cilantro, garlic, sea salt, and a few grinds of pepper to a mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously.
- Add your sliced bread to the egg mixture, pressing it down.
- Flip the sliced bread, and let it soak as to your preference. NOTE: We like ours eggy, and I soak for about a minute on each side rather than just dipping.
- To a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the butter and/or olive oil. When the butter is melted, spread it around, and add the bread slices. Cook until they’re golden brown, then flip, and repeat.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
NOTE: I just couldn't bring myself to use 4 tablespoons of butter because I mostly use unsaturated fats. I do a 50/50 mix of butter and olive oil. Feel free to splurge, and use all butter.
You can adjust how much custard you soak up by leaving it in the bowl for a longer or shorter time. The longer you go, the creamier and more custardy it'll end up.
There is no accurate way to determine calories/macros on this. It depends on what bread you choose, how thick the slices are, and how much of the custard and butter/olive oil is absorbed. Toppings are not included.
