Similar to a Monte Cristo, this vegetarian version sandwich can be served at any meal. It's rich and creamy and earthy and suits meat and non meat eaters, alike! Ingredients:
12 slices bread(this can be anything from your basic loaf bread to a specialty or rustic bakery bread) |
6 large eggs |
about 1/4 cup milk or half and half |
1lb sliced baby bella mushrooms |
8oz gruyere, havarti, fontina or similar cheese(slices or fresh grated) |
3oz parmesan, grated |
1t fresh tarragon, minced |
several t chopped fresh chives or 1 scallion, diced |
butter for grilling/frying |
kosher or sea salt and fresh ground pepper |
optional honey mustard chive sauce |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup honey mustard(or 3t of your favorite mustard and 1t honey |
dash of hot sauce |
1t fresh snipped chives |

3. For Stuffed French Toast
4. In shallow pan(a pie plate works well!), combine eggs, milk 1t of tarragon and a lil salt and pepper.
5. Whisk well to break and beat eggs to a frothy consistency
6. In medium, heavy skillet or frying pan, heat a couple T of butter and saute the mushrooms for about 5 minutes with the remaining tarragon and a lil more salt and pepper. This will release a lil of the liquid as well as giving them a lil head start on the heating/cooking process. If you are using a scallion, cook that, here, with the mushrooms!
7. Add chives and toss well off of the heat.
8. Make sammiches by adding cheese to 6 pieces of the bread, distributing both types of cheese evenly.
9. With a slotted spoon, add a spoonful of the mushroom mixture to each layer of cheese.
10. Top with another piece of bread.
11. Carefully place each sandwich in the egg mixture, turn and coat both sides.
12. Immediately place in a hot skillet with melted butter and cook, turning once, until nicely cooked and lightly golden brown.
13. Serve with the sauce, if desired
