Savory Masala French Toast Chili (Print View)

Eggs, onions, and spices create a golden, zesty French toast with fresh vibrant toppings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Savoury Custard Base

01 - 2 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons finely minced red onion
03 - 1 teaspoon finely minced green chili, such as jalapeno
04 - 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
05 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
07 - 1/3 cup whole milk or water

→ Bread

08 - 2 slices of sourdough, multigrain, or whole wheat bread

→ For Serving

09 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
10 - 1/4 cup cilantro-mint chutney

→ Pan Preparation

11 - 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil

# Directions:

01 - In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the red onion, green chili, ground turmeric, kosher salt, chopped cilantro, and milk until thoroughly combined.
02 - Break the eggs into the bowl and whisk with the vegetable mixture for about one minute, ensuring a uniform blend.
03 - Place one slice of bread into the savory custard, allowing it to fully absorb the mixture. Gently press the bread with a fork to ensure both sides are coated, then flip and repeat.
04 - Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of neutral oil. Lay the soaked bread slice onto the hot pan. Spoon and spread extra onion from the bowl on top of the bread. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the underside becomes golden brown.
05 - Carefully turn the bread over and cook the second side for an additional minute, or until golden brown.
06 - Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slice of bread, replenishing oil if needed.
07 - Serve the hot masala French toast immediately, accompanied by ketchup and cilantro-mint chutney on the side.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the bread is well-soaked but not falling apart for optimal texture.
