Questions people ask about Savoury French Toast

How long does Savoury French Toast take?

About 12 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

What can I use instead of bread in Savoury French Toast?

Use any loaf that is a day old. Fresh bread turns to paste in most of these.

Can I make Savoury French Toast ahead of time?

Not really. This one relies on being crisp, and crisp does not survive the fridge. Prepare the components ahead if you like, but cook it just before eating.

What do you serve with Savoury French Toast?

Roti or plain rice, with something sharp on the side: curd, pickle or sliced onion. It serves two as written. Double everything to feed four, but use a wider pan so the food still browns rather than steams.
