This French toast recipe gets a savory twist from spicy and funky green curry paste. We amp up store-bought curry paste with fresh herbs and additional lime juice and fish sauce. Blending the curry base and soaking the bread well in advance ensures that the curry soaks all the way through, for a flavorful, custardy center. With the prep work squared away the night before, this dish is perfect for any lazy Sunday.

Ingredients

Serve

Molasses or maple syrup
Additional chopped cilantro and scallion, for garnish
4 Crispy Fried Eggs

Butter, for cooking
8 slices day-old bread
4 large eggs
1 tbsp. fish sauce
2 tbsp. lime juice
6 scallions, both white and green parts
1/4 bunch cilantro
1/2 cup green curry paste
1 can coconut milk

Method

01

In the jar of a blender, blend together coconut milk, green curry paste, cilantro, scallion, lime juice, and fish sauce until smooth. Add eggs and blend until combined.
02

Pour coconut mixture into a large roasting pan or 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Add sliced bread and allow to soak at least 1 hour at room temperature, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator, flipping once during the soak to coat both sides.
03

Preheat a 12-inch cast iron or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons (30g) butter and heat until foamy. Add 2 to 3 pieces soaked bread and cook until browned on both sides and heated through, about 10 minutes.
04

Repeat with remaining bread and additional butter, holding cooked French toast warm in a 250°F (120°C) oven until ready to serve. Serve French toast with crispy fried eggs, chopped cilantro and scallion, and a drizzle of molasses or maple.
