French toast with asparagus and orange hollandaise recipe

Share the love

When it comes to luxurious brunch dishes, this recipe for savoury French toast takes some beating. Here, slices of egg-soaked bread are fried until lightly golden and caramelised on the outside, yet still soft and fluffy within. Tender asparagus spears are then piled on top, with a fragrant, basil-infused hollandaise providing a delicious finishing touch.

This recipe features in Bottomless Brunch: A Dazzling Collection of Brunch Recipes Paired with Perfect Cocktails, a cookbook that offers a tasty ode to the much-loved meal, with recipes from around the world. To add to the appeal, you’ll also find matching cocktail and mocktail suggestions peppered throughout; for the most decadent start to the day, serve this dish with a refreshing Kir Royale.

Note: If you don’t have basil vinegar, you can use white wine vinegar instead, adding 2-3 basil leaves along with the chopped shallots and orange zest in step 1. Sherry vinegar makes for a great substitute, too.

For US ingredients and measurements, use the drop-down menu and select 'Cups'.
