How to Make Savory, Herbed Grilled Cheese French Toast

Step-by-Step

In a casserole dish, combine the buttermilk, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano and cayenne pepper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the softened butter, then fold in the grated cheese. Divide into four equal parts and spread on toast. Cover with an additional slice.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
Dredge each sandwich in the batter, coating each side. Place in skillet and brown top and bottom and the cheese is melted; about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Serve with a beer and a steaming hot bowl of your favorite tomato soup. Enjoy!
