Shiitake Mushroom Stuffed French Toast

 

1/2 C. Half and Half

2 Eggs

1 loaf Pan Bread sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices

Oil (I prefer Avocado Oil) just enough to cover the pan

1 1/2 T. Butter

2 C. Shiitake Mushrooms sliced

1 tsp. Mirin

1/2 tsp. Fish Sauce

1/4 tsp. Salt

Chives to garnish

 

Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the butter, and saute the shiitake Mushrooms until golden brown. Deglaze the pan with mirin and fish sauce and add the salt. Set aside. Mix, using a fork, the half and half and eggs in a pie pan. Take a slice of the bread and make a small incision into one of the sides of the slices, do not cut all the way through. Stuff some of the mushrooms into each slice of bread. Add oil to a skillet. Dip the slice in the egg and half and half mixture. Soak quickly and ensure coverage on both sides. Place in pan. Brown both sides and maybe even the edges. Plate and garnish with chives. Enjoy!
