Savoury french toast with sun-dried tomato pesto

Ingredients

THE FRENCH TOAST

• 1/2 block silken tofu*
• 1 clove black garlic
• 1 small clove normal garlic
• 6 basil leaves
• Pinch salt
• Pepper
• 1 tsp balsamic
• 1 thick slice bread (I used seedy sourdough)

TO TOP

• 1 heaped tbsp sundried tomato pesto - use my recipe here
• Balsamic
• Toasted pine nuts
• Cream cheese, ricotta or mozzarella
• Basil

Method

1. Make your sundried tomato pesto - recipe is on my feed (will also be on my story)
2. Add the tofu and the rest of the french toast ingredients to a blender (apart from the bread). Season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth and thick.
3. Pour into a dish, then cut 1-2 pieces of bread into 3-4 fingers. Soak them in the mixture for a few minutes
4. Grease a pan with olive oil and fry the french toast sticks on each side until golden
5. Add to a plate with 1-2 tbsp sundried tomato pesto, pine nuts, cream cheese, basil, salt and pepper.
6. You could also add Parmesan if you aren’t vegan.
