Savory French Toasts

A savory twist on classic French toasts. Completely plant-based - instead of using eggs for the batter, we used almond milk created with the NutraMilk and a few other savory ingredients, topped with fresh avocado and tomato for a delicious and filling breakfast!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup simple almond milk made with the NutraMilk
• ⅓ cup chickpea flour
• 3 tbsp. nutritional yeast flakes
• 2 tbsp. cornstarch
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder
• ¼ tsp. onion powder
• Hot sauce, to taste (optional)
• About 2 tbsp. canola oil, or high heat oil of choice
• 6 slices crusty bread

For toppings

• cherry tomatoes
• avocado
• cilantro
• cheese (regular or vegan)

For almond milk

• 1 cup (150g) almonds
• 1 quart (946ml) water
• 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making fresh almond milk with the NutraMilk:
• Place almonds in the NutraMilk container.
• Press Butter cycle, set for 7 minutes.
• Press Start.
• Add water and replace lid.
• Press Mix (do not change the default Mix time).
• Press Start.
• Press Dispense, open spigot and fill your container with almond milk.

• Whisk the milk, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce together in a medium bowl, until fully blended.
• Generously coat the bottom of a medium skillet with oil and place it over medium heat.
• When the oil is hot, grab a bread slice and dip each side in the batter, then transfer the slice to the skillet. You can add a few more slices to the skillet if there's room, but don't crowd them.

• Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Repeat until all of the slices are cooked, adding oil to the skillet as needed between batches.
• Serve with toppings of choice such as avocado, tomato, cheese (for non-vegans), herbs, etc.
