Instructions
Prepare the Stuffing:
- In a bowl, combine chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the French Toast Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.
Assemble the French Toast:

Cook the French Toast:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Cook each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Slice the stuffed French toast in half and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional basil or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Notes
- Add Spice: For a little heat, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the stuffing.
- Garnish Options: Top with fresh herbs, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of olive oil for an added touch.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the stuffing the night before and assemble it in the morning for an even quicker breakfast.
