Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut sourdough (3/4 inch thick)
- 2 large eggs

Steps
- 01Whisk eggs, milk, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a shallow dish.
- 02Dip each bread slice for 10 seconds per side.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
- 04Serve with a fried egg on top, or alongside marinara for dipping.
Savory french toast is essentially a less fussy version of a croque monsieur. Sourdough is the right bread here because its tanginess plays off the parmesan. Sweet breads like brioche don't work for this variation.
