This mouthwatering grilled cheese French toast recipe is the perfect combination of two popular sandwiches, that of the grilled cheese sandwich as well as golden French toast.
Recreate these delicious sandwiches for breakfast or for Saturday brunch.
Make French toast: In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, nutmeg and salt until light and frothy. Dip bread in egg mixture until each slice is soaked through.
In a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add a couple slices of bread and cook until golden, about two minutes per side. Transfer French toast to a cooling rack while you cook the remaining slices. Wipe skillet clean.
Make grilled cheese: Lay two slices of bacon and a few slices of cheese onto a piece of French toast. Drizzle with maple syrup then top with another slice of French toast.
Heat clean skillet over medium heat. Add French toast grilled cheese and cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes per side.
Heat a medium cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
In the meantime, butter both sides of your bread.
Once skillet is hot, add your bread and lightly toast both sides.
Remove bread from the pan and spread a semi-thick layer of vegan cheddar cheese on one side of both slices of bread. Then fold the slices together to make a sandwich (cheese in the center).
Return sandwich to the skillet and continue cooking over medium heat, flipping a couple times until both sides are nice and golden brown and crispy, and the cheese appears melty and gooey.
Enjoy hot. Slice in half for serving if desired. Best when fresh. Pairs beautifully with soup!
