I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I prefer savory over sweet anytime. So when it comes to the usual French Toast, I steer clear of it. My version has the usual eggs and milk (normal not sweetened) but along with that I have also added a spice mix of cardamom, cinnamon, mace, star anise and pepper, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and grated mozzarella cheese and NO sugar. Soak the bread in this mixture and bang it on a griddle that’s on low heat. A serving of fried sausages and you have your day made 🙂
By the way French Toast is not of French origin but way older. The earliest known reference to French toast is in the Apicius, a collection of Latin recipes dating to the 4th or 5th century; the recipe mentions soaking in milk, and sometimes with egg, and gives it no special name, just aliter dulcia “another sweet dish”. (source: Wikipedia).
There is obviously no alternative to the veggies. The eggetarians can lose the sausages

Looks delicious 🙂 I love french toast … but without the maple syrup which most of the caffe’s serve here.
Yum – What time is breakfast? I’ll be there!
Interesting history about French toast. I must say it’s great stuff, so it’s easy to believe it’s been a classic that stood the test of time.

I’ve never had non-sweet French toast, but it does sound intriguing! I’ll have to try it some day.
Yum, this looks great!!
Looks and sounds delicious – haven’t had French toast in awhile – though I would leave out the sausages. Never heard of an ‘eggetarian’ before! Like that word, though I think you meant vegan perhaps? 😉 <3
An eggetarian is one who eats only beg and eggs 🙂 A vegan of course not
Ooh..French toast and sausages.. super yummy!!!
We usually have savoury French toast, for breakfast, with tomato sauce!
Well, it’ll still be tasty, I imagine.

MMM I had French toast for breakfast .
It looks delicious to me.
Yum, you got me at mozzarella… 🙂
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
Looks and sounds delicious but I would prefer my sausages whole not sliced as the flavour stays inside the sausage that way!
Best wishes,

French toast are my favorite and I usually prepare them on Sundays. The sausages are also mouth watery, however I do not have any experience for preparing sausages but still I shall definitely try this out. Thank u for the recipe. keep posting with lots more.
