Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Chives (fresh, finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Milk (whole milk preferred)
• 3 large eggs Eggs (room temperature)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (kosher or sea salt)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (regular onion powder)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (regular garlic powder)
• 6 slices Bread (day‑old white sandwich bread, sturdy)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (for pan, melted)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture

   Finely chop the chives and place them in a mixing bowl. Add 0.5 cup milk, then crack in 3 eggs. Season with 0.25 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp onion powder and 1 tsp garlic powder. Break the yolks first, then whisk until fully combined.

2. Slice the Bread

   Slice the day‑old bread into 6 even pieces, about 1‑inch thick each.

3. Soak the Bread

   Dip each slice into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let each piece soak for a few seconds so it absorbs the liquid but doesn’t fall apart.

4. Heat the Pan

   Place a frying pan over medium heat and add the tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium heat

5. Cook First Side

   Lay the soaked bread slices in the pan. Cook for about 2‑3 minutes until the underside is golden brown.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: medium heat

6. Flip and Cook Other Side

   Turn the slices over and cook the other side for another 2‑3 minutes until golden and crisp.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: medium heat

7. Finish in the Oven

   Transfer the toasted slices onto a baking tray. Place the tray in a pre‑heated oven set to 390°F (200°C) and bake for 5 minutes until the bread is beautifully crisp.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 390°F (200°C)
