Description
This savory stuffed French toast is what brunch dreams are made of! Ciabatta bread, prosciutto and mozzarella all come together with an amazing custard.
Ingredients
- ½ loaves Ciabatta Bread
- ¼ pounds Prosciutto
- 4 slices Fresh Smoked Mozzarella, Thinly Sliced
- 5 whole Eggs
- ½ cups Milk
- ¼ cups Freshly Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese
- 1 pinch Truffle Salt
- 1 pinch Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoons Dried Basil
- ½ teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
Preparation
Take the ciabatta loaf and slice it into 4 thick, equal slices. (Remove the heel and set it aside to dip in pasta sauce later!) Then gently slice an opening through the middle of each slice to make a large pocket for the filling. Stuff each slice with 1/4 of the prosciutto and a slice of the mozzarella.
Combine eggs, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, basil and oregano in a large mixing bowl and whisk it all together. Soak the stuffed bread slices in the mixture for 5 minutes on each side.
While bread soaks in the custard, preheat an electric griddle to 350ºF or a large griddle pan over medium high heat. Grease griddle with butter. Take the bread right out of the custard and onto the griddle and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Then cook for another 2 minutes on each side. If necessary, reduce the heat and keep flipping the toast every couple of minutes until mozzarella is melted without burning the outside.
Serve the savory French toast immediately and enjoy!
