Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the skillet by placing a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or butter. Allow the oil to heat until it’s shimmering, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Cut the slightly stale challah bread or baguette into thick slices. Submerge each slice in the egg mixture for about 10–30 seconds.
  4. Once the oil is hot, arrange the soaked bread slices in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the toast from the skillet, serve on a warm plate, and top with arugula, sliced avocado, or a fried egg.
