(recipe, Cindy Burke)

Introduction

I like to make this savory version of French toast using freshly snipped chives. Serve the warm toast with a drizzle of crème fraîche and a thin slice of salmon lox. A basted egg with a bit of lemony hollandaise sauce is also a good topper.

Ingredients

1. 1 egg
2. ½ cup milk
3. 2 Tbsp. chives, snipped or minced
4. 4 slices challah bread
5. 4 slices smoked-salmon lox
6. 2 Tbsp. crème fraîche or sour cream
7. Lemon wedges

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the chives. Soak four slices of challah bread in the batter for about one minute on each side.
2. Cook on a lightly buttered griddle until brown on each side and warmed through. Serve two slices of French toast on a warm plate with two slices of smoked-salmon lox, a wedge of lemon, and crème fraîche.
