Sourdough Savoury French Toast

DID YOU KNOW
The iconic French Toast was created during the medieval era by cooks who discovered a delicious way to use day-old bread. Known as ‘pain perdu’ or ‘lost bread’ in France, French Toast is commonly made by soaking sliced bread in an egg-and-milk mixture before it’s pan-fried. At Sorrentina, we’ve used sourdough bread instead of regular bread, to create a unique savoury French Toast recipe. Take it from us — it’s the tastiest breakfast fix in town!
