Savory French Toast Sandwiches With Pesto - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 None Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
None None cooking oil spray
8 slices wholegrain bread
2 tbsp basil pesto
3 oz Mozzarella cheese, grated
2 oz baby spinach
3 1/2 tbsp butter
3 None large eggs
1/2 cup milk

Preparation

Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Lightly spray tomatoes with oil and grill for 3 mins on each side or until browned and just soft. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
To assemble, spread 4 slices of bread with pesto. Top each with cheese and spinach, then the remaining bread slices. Secure with toothpicks.
To cook, melt half the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Whisk eggs and milk in a shallow dish. Dip 2 sandwiches into egg mixture, turning, until bread is completely soaked. Add sandwiches to the frying pan and cook for 2 mins on each side or until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches. Discard toothpicks and cut sandwiches in half. Serve with the tomatoes.
