Instructions

Creating Savory Cacio e Pepe French Toast is a simple process that involves a few straightforward steps:

  1. Whisk Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and freshly cracked black pepper until well combined.
  1. Dip the Bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
  1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat until shimmering.
  1. Cook the Toast: Place the soaked bread slices into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  1. Add More Cheese (Optional): In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle additional Pecorino Romano cheese over the toast and cover the skillet with a lid to help it melt.

  1. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs over the toast for a pop of color and flavor.

Following these steps ensures a beautifully cooked, savory treat that embodies the spirit of Italian cuisine.
