Ingredients
French Toast
- 4 slices thick bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Topping
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs (fried or scrambled)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly to ensure even flavor and texture.
- Cook French Toast: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook Ground Beef: In another pan over medium heat, brown 1/2 lb ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks until fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Season Beef: Season the cooked beef with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Cook Eggs: In a separate pan, cook 2 eggs to your preference, either fried or scrambled.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the golden French toast on serving plates. Top each with a portion of the seasoned ground beef and an egg.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped parsley over the top if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- You can add sautéed onions or cheese to the beef for extra flavor.
- Serve with hot sauce or ketchup if desired for an added kick.
