I couldn’t decide if this was a lunch thing or a breakfast thing. I plumped for it to be a brunch thing. Mum and I ate this whilst watching the rugby. I love the rugby.
It was Lyndsey’s choice for this week’s Martha Mondays. We very rarely have French toast in our house as mum wants it to be more toast-like and not so squidy. I like it with sugar and brown sauce (HP sauce) but I never make this for myself. Just like I never make pancakes just for me.
We really enjoyed this although I think I would make some alterations if I made this again – not sure what though. I didn’t soak the bread for 10 minutes as I thought it would just dissolve and I used a little dried thyme as that always works well with mushrooms.

The soaking time was a bit long I agree, but I used a pretty dry sourdough that took a while to get wet, so I did maybe half that time. I thought the recipe said to cut the bread in to 3 strips from each slice (am I wrong?) and I would have preferred it in whole slices like yours.
No, Brette, you are right. Obviously I wasn’t looking at the recipe when I made this!
I am going to make mine this evening. maybe I’ll try something different, I got an idea, but I don’t have thicck bread. The thyme sounds good in there…it looks good.
I just posted mine, not too many changes! We liked it.
