French toast are very famous and commonly made breakfast in almost every house today. I never make french toast in old fashioned way, where in bread has to be dipped simply in egg. This is not the first recipe of french toast where in I have twisted this recipe. After Pizza french toast, and Cheese French Toast , Apple Cinnamon French Toast and Jam French Toast, here I am with one more different version of french toast. This time I made a yummy and healthy filling of mushroom.
As mushroom is very cheesy and soft in texture, adding more cheese to it makes it all the more cheesy and super yum. Do try this new version of french toast, I am sure your family specially your kids gonna love it.
INGREDIENTS
100gm (10-15 Mushrooms) finely chopped mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp oil
1 large finely chopped onion
1 medium sized finely chopped capsicum (you can add yellow and red bell pepper with it for extra flavor)
1/3 cup grated cheese (I used processed cheese)
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
1/2 tsp oregano or mixed herb
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
1/2 cup tomato sauce (optional)
1 tsp salt or to taste
For Egg batter:
4-5 eggs
1/2 tsp pepper powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 cup milk
Salt to taste
METHOD
Heat oil in pan. Add butter and onion. Saute onion till it sweats.
Add chopped capsicum. Give a mix.
Add finely chopped mushroom. Cook on high flame till water of mushroom is absorbed.
Add salt, pepper, oregano. Mix well.
Keep this mix aside to cool down.
If you're planning to prepare this for kids school lunch box, prepare the filling a night prior. Like I does and store in fridge.
In separate bowl beat together eggs, salt, pepper powder, oregano and milk. Beat well.
Take bread slice and trim the edges. Spread tomato sauce on both the slices, keep mushroom filling, top with some more cheese if you want, close it with other slice of bread.
Heat pan, add some oil and butter.
Dip bread slice in egg batter and coat well from all the sides. Toast on hot pan or tawa till crisp and brown. Hold the bread and toast from edges too so that egg is cooked from all the sides.
Before cutting make sure to let it cool down to room temperature.
Pack in kids school lunch box or serve in breakfast.
