Step 1

Heat a large skillet on medium heat with a mild flavored oil (or butter or margarine).

Step 2

In a bowl or a casserole, use a fork to whisk together the eggs, milk, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground pepper.

Step 3

Once the oil is shimmering, start to soak the bread in the egg batter.

Step 4

Start to dip the bread in batches. Let each soak for 10-30 seconds (depends on how thick the slices are and how dry the bread is).

Step 5

As soon as the oil is shimmering and heated, start to transfer the bread to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low. Be sure not to crowd the slices of bread. Do not flip until the first side gets nice and golden brown.

Step 6

Cook on each side until it becomes golden brown and crispy (2-3 minutes per side). Transfer the French toasts to a serving platter or dish.

Step 7

Serve the French toast topped with arugula (or spinach), avocado slices, and fried eggs (optional).
