Time 15m

Yield 8 1/2" Slices, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 eggs
3 tablespoons half-and-half
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
vegetable oil
butter
bread, day-old cut on the diagonal
ketchup
sriracha sauce

Steps:

In a bowl or baking dish, beat together eggs with half-and-half, salt, pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
Heat a medium or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cover the bottom of the skillet with vegetable oil and add a tablespoon or two of butter for taste.
Dip the bread triangles into the egg batter, drain off any excess, and place straight into the hot pan.
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side - you want to develop a golden-brown color and the texture should be crispier than traditional French toast.
Place cooked toasts on a paper towel-lined plate or rack to drain.
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup and hot sauce to your desired heat tolerance.
Serve toasts warm with a side of the spicy ketchup.
