Savoury Toast
Savoury toast has to be one of my favourite discoveries of 2024. The possibilities are absolutely endless, but a plate of this custardy yet crunchy toast topped in smooth ricotta and truffle honey might just be my new death row meal.
Ingredients
For the egg wash:
- 1 large egg
- 50ml full cream milk
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- 20g Parmesan, finely grated
- 3 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
For the rest:
- 2 slices Bakers Delight Sourdough Vienna
- 20g butter
Optional, to serve:
- Butter, chives, salt flakes and black pepper
- Raw sliced or grilled radish with avocado, extra virgin olive oil, salt flakes and black pepper
- Ricotta and truffle or chilli honey
- Extra virgin olive oil roasted cherry tomatoes, basil, salt flakes and black pepper or chilli flakes
Method
- Add all egg wash ingredients and a good pinch of salt flakes to a shallow dish that will allow you to evenly dip both pieces of bread, laying flat.
- Soak both pieces of bread at a time, approx 2 mins each per side.
- Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat in a pan that will accommodate both pieces of bread at once.
- Fry each side for about 2 minutes, until golden brown, and serve with your choice of toppings.
