Savory French Toast with Mountain Cheese | Crispy Brunch Classic

Coarsely grate the mountain cheese and finely slice the fresh chives into small rings. In a shallow dish, thoroughly whisk the eggs with the whole milk, a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, fine table salt, and ground black pepper.

Place the slices of farmhouse bread into the egg mixture one by one and let them soak for about 30 to 45 seconds on each side, so that they soak up the mixture nicely without falling apart.

Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the soaked bread slices and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
