Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grill to high. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese and chives. Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture, then place them in the pan. Cook for 3-5 mins on each side, or until golden and crisp, then keep warm in a low oven if you need to.

  • step 2

    Place the vine tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until they start to soften and blister. On a large platter, pile up the cheesy French bread, grilled tomatoes, sliced ham and a pile of watercress, and let everyone dig in.

question

Love the sound of this recipe ..Would it be better to use a little oil with the butter ...I am concerned the butter burns at high heat ?

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. You're right - butter burns at a very high heat so you would add oil if you were trying to brown somethig like a steak at a very high temperature. However, the French toast is cooked on a more gentle heat so the butter alone will be fine. Hope it turns out…
