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
Beef 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
Egg Garnish
- 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 fully combined to create the soaking mixture for the bread.
- Soak the bread: Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices into the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the beef: In a separate pan, cook 1/2 lb ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, season with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Cook the eggs for topping: Prepare 2 eggs fried or scrambled according to your preference in the same or a separate skillet.
- Assemble the dish: Place the cooked French toast on a plate, evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef over the toast, and top with the cooked eggs.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped parsley over the dish if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add sautéed onions or shredded cheese to the beef mixture while cooking.
- Serve with hot sauce, ketchup, or your favorite breakfast condiments for added taste.
