Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche, sourdough, or country-style)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for cooking
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and feta until well combined.
-
Make the Egg Batter:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and oregano.
-
Assemble the Toast:
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly on 4 slices of bread.
- Top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches, pressing gently to seal.
-
Dip and Cook:
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, soaking for 10-15 seconds per side.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Slice diagonally, garnish with fresh basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, use slightly stale bread to absorb the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
- Low-carb option: Use keto-friendly bread or almond flour bread.
- Meal prep tip: Make ahead and store in the fridge overnight, then dip and cook fresh in the morning.
