This bread is great by itself
but it made a great french toast as well.
The room smelled so great. I love my rosemary plant.
To make the batter, I beat two eggs slightly with 1/3 cup of milk. I then added one teaspoon of orange zest and a teaspoon of fresh chopped rosemary to the batter. (This last fall, I decided to transplant my rosemary to an indoor pot to keep it growing over the winter. This is definitely a decision that I have not regretted.) Finally, I used salt and pepper, to taste.
My Thoughts
Overall, this experiment turned out fairly well. The amount of orange zest was just perfect to give a nice citrus note to complement the olives in the bread. While there was a light note of rosemary, it definitely could have benefited from more. The next time that I make this dish, and I will, I will probably triple the amount of rosemary; or add even more than that, to add a stronger flavor.
The Recipe
6-8 slices of bread
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp orange zest
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp Butter/Butter Substitute, to fry the bread.
My friend Fleur suggested garlic and thyme as additional complements to the olive bread. I didn't have any on hand this time around, but next time I make this I will try playing around with some more flavors.
*A side note: As you may have noticed from the picture, some of the last pieces got a bit crispy. I had the misfortune of the someone appearing at the door.
