One day I was making something to eat. I was debating about having French Toast or scrambled eggs. I usually put milk into my egg for French Toast and I usually put milk and garlic salt or season salt in my scrambled eggs. I had decided on French Toast, but perhaps I wasn’t really firm in my decision and clearly I was not focusing on the task at hand because I stirred up the eggs and seasoned them with season salt then put the bread in it. As I was flipping the bread to coat the other side I realized my error. Sigh. So I decided to make a grilled sandwich with the egg coated bread. It was delicious.
I cooked the oddly seasoned French Toast like I would regular French Toast. I always have a bit of egg left over after making two pieces of French Toast. One egg is never enough to coat two pieces of bread and two eggs is always too much. I cooked up the rest of the egg mixture and pan fried some lunch meat for the sandwich.
It was such a yummy accident, I think I have had it a couple of times since. Here is my “recipe”. (I say “recipe” because there are no measurements or exact cooking times. It’s more of an idea than a recipe.)
___________________________________________
Savory French Toast Sandwich
butter
2 eggs
season salt
milk
two pieces of bread
slice of cheese
lunch meat
onions
Put some butter in a pan and turn on the heat. Scramble the two eggs adding the season salt and a splash of milk. Dip the bread in the egg mixture. (Here is where you decide if you like a lot of egg on your bread or not. I usually just dip the bread quick.) When the pan is good and hot add the egg coated bread to the pan and proceed to cook as you would French Toast. I like my French Toast browned.
If you have room in the same pan as the bread you can cook any remaining egg you may have, along with the lunch meat. Or you can use another pan to cook the remaining egg and the lunch meat.
At one point you might want to put the cheese on the bread so it can start to melt . . . again . . . it all depends on whether you want melted cheese.
Once the toast is cooked to your liking, the extra egg is cooked, and the lunch meat is browned you can assemble the sandwich. I added some raw onions on my sandwich.

This was so good I am finding my mouth water as I am typing this up. I can see myself having this again in the next couple of days!
Probably not a new thing to some – savory French Toast – but it was a complete and delicious accident to me! What do you think?
