Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or oregano until well combined.

Step 2: Soak the Bread

• Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let the bread sit for a minute to absorb the mixture.

Step 3: Cook the French Toast

• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Keep the cooked French toast warm in the oven while you prepare the topping.

Step 4: Sauté the Spinach and Mushrooms

• In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes until soft. Then add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until they release their moisture and become golden.
• Add the fresh spinach (or thawed, drained frozen spinach), and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Assemble the Dish

• Place two slices of French toast on each plate, then spoon the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture over the top. If desired, sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.
