Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 large eggs
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
• ⅓ cup vegetable broth
• 1 medium roasted red pepper, chopped
• 3 (1 inch thick) slices French bread

• 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
• ⅓ cup quartered grape tomatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine broth and butter for coulis in a saucepan over medium heat. Add red pepper and season with salt and pepper; simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Add bread slices and soak until all liquids are uniformly absorbed.

Step 3

Pour cooled broth mixture into a food processor. Puree until coulis is smooth.

Step 4

Melt 1 teaspoon butter on a griddle over medium heat. Pan-fry French toast slices until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut each piece into triangles and divide evenly among 2 plates.

Step 5

Sprinkle with goat cheese, tomatoes, parsley, and basil. Drizzle with coulis. Serve immediately with remaining coulis on the side.
