Cornbread French Toast with Chili

This different and delicious savory French toast was assembled for lunch, the day after a family "chili night," from leftover yeasted corn bread and chili made from the Boilermaker Tailgate Chili recipe on this website. It would probably be just as good made with challah, French bread, or any other bread that makes good French toast and any kind of chili and cheese combination you like.

Ingredients

• ½ cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 4 pieces cornbread
• 1 cup prepared chili

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour milk into a glass measuring cup. Add eggs and whisk until well blended. Pour into a nonstick skillet with a glass lid that's just large enough for the bread. Add the cornbread slices in a single layer. Soak until about half of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Flip the bread and allow it to soak up the remaining liquid.

Step 2

Place the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes; flip and distribute the cheese and chili evenly over the slices. Cover and cook until the chili is hot, reducing the heat as needed to prevent burning the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes.
