BLT on Savory French Toast with Green Onion Aioli
Ingredients:
- 4 Slices French bread
- 12 Slices bacon
- 1 Medium tomato, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- 6 Slices fresh buffalo mozzarella
- 1/2 Head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 Tablespoons green onion aioli (recipe below)
- 1 1/2 Cups savory French toast batter (recipe below)
Batter:
- 3 Eggs
- 1 1/2 Cups milk
- 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 Tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon black pepper
Green Onion Aioli:
- 1/2 Cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 Cup green onions, chopped
- 1 Garlic clove
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Teaspoon black pepper
Preparation:
For the batter, whisk all the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Place the slices of bread in the bowl making sure the batter coats them evenly and set aside. For the aioli, place all of the ingredients in a food processor and mix until well combined and set aside.
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Lay the bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, place the bread in the pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
To assemble, place a slice of French toast in the center of a plate, spread 1 tablespoon of green onion aioli on the toast, 2 slices of fresh mozzarella, 3 slices of bacon, 2 slices of tomato, a handful of shredded lettuce, and a small dollop of the aioli on top to finish. Absolutely delicioso.
