Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup cooked corned beef, shredded
- 1 cup shredded Irish cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1/4 cup pesto
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Prepare the kale slaw by finely chopping kale and mixing it with pesto in a separate bowl, ensuring even coating. Set aside.
- Shred the cooked corned beef into fine, tender pieces using two forks or a sharp knife.
- Take bread slices and layer half of them with shredded corned beef and generously sprinkle Irish cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover each prepared slice with remaining bread slices to create sandwiches.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated and saturated.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting diagonally.
- Plate the French toast and top generously with prepared kale pesto slaw.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the rich, savory flavors.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality corned beef and Irish cheddar cheese. Fresh bread will also enhance the texture of your French toast.
- Prep Ahead: If you're short on time, you can prepare the kale slaw and egg mixture in advance. Just store them in the fridge until you're ready to assemble and cook.
- Egg Mixture Consistency: Ensure that your egg mixture is well-whisked to create a smooth coating for the bread. This will help the French toast achieve a uniform texture.
- Mind the Heat: When cooking your sandwiches, keep the skillet at medium heat. Too high, and the outside will burn before the cheese melts; too low, and it won't get that perfect golden crust.
- Customize Your Slaw: Feel free to add other ingredients to the kale pesto slaw, like nuts or cheese, for added texture and flavor.
- Serve Fresh: This dish is best enjoyed immediately after cooking, so try to time it right for serving guests or family for maximum freshness.
- Experiment with Toppings: Consider drizzling a bit of hot sauce or adding a fried egg on top of your French toast for an extra flavor kick!
