Eggplant French Toast
 
 
Sherri:
Recipe type: Breakfast/Brunch
Cuisine: French Toast
Ingredients
  • 1 eggplant, peeled and sliced into ¼ inch thick slices
  • salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling while it cooks
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice to taste). *You could also make this without sugar for a more savory version
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ghee/coconut oil to cook in
Directions
  1. Salt both sides of eggplant and let sit for a few minutes to take out some of the water content.
  2. Pierce each eggplant slice with a fork a few times so the batter will soak into the eggplant.
  3. While the eggplant sits, beat the egg and add all the remaining ingredients (except the ghee) into the egg batter.
  4. Dip each piece of eggplant into the egg mixture to coat both sides, shaking off any excess.
  5. Heat a skillet and add some ghee (or coconut oil).
  6. When the oil is hot, add the eggplant to the skillet and toast both sides.  While they are toasting, sprinkle the top of the slices with more cinnamon.
  7. Serve however you enjoy french toast.  The one I've pictured is topped with pure, local maple syrup, berries, and fresh peach slices.  Enjoy!
