French toast

 

I love food that is versatile. Βy saying versatile I mean that can be served in any meal ... breakfast, lunch and even dinner.

One such a dish I'll share with you today. Many would consider it as " snack " but I believe that it is a bit more of a snack ... it is so rich that can easily fill your stomach, so it's ideal for breakfast, or light lunch and of course as an easy solution for dinner.

The ingredients needed are definitely in our fridge at any time. In the basic recipe of Chef N.Makrymichalos, I replaced the slices of emmental with cheddar and the ham with turkey ham.

Enjoy!
