Ingredients

⅓ cup vegetable broth
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 medium roasted red pepper, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
3 (1 inch thick) slices French bread
1 teaspoon salted butter, or as needed
2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
⅓ cup quartered grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

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.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Add bread slices and soak until all liquids are uniformly absorbed.
Pour cooled broth mixture into a food processor. Puree until coulis is smooth.
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.
Sprinkle with goat cheese, tomatoes, parsley, and basil. Drizzle with coulis. Serve immediately with remaining coulis on the side.
