Savory Green Curry French Toast Recipe
- 1 can coconut milk (13 1/2 fluid ounces; 400ml)
- 1/2 cup green curry paste (3 1/2 ounces; 100g)
- 1/4 bunch cilantro (1 ounce; 28g), roughly chopped
- 6 scallions, both white and green parts, roughly chopped (1 ounce; 28g)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (1 ounce; 28g), from about 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (1/2 ounce; 14g)
- 4 large eggs
- 8 (1-inch-thick) slices day-old bread (about 14 ounces; 400g); brioche, challah, and Pullman loaves work best (see note)
- Butter, for cooking
- 4 to 8
- Additional chopped cilantro and scallion, for garnish
- Molasses or maple syrup
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Repeat with remaining bread and additional butter, holding cooked French toast warm in a 250u0b0F (120u0b0C) oven until ready to serve. Serve French toast with crispy fried eggs, chopped cilantro and scallion, and a drizzle of molasses or maple.
