I’ve never really been a breakfast person until brunch became an overnight millennial social establishment and I realized that waking up to the smell of my boyfriend making fresh coffee and eggs is a magical feeling. However, as soon as I sit down at an establishment that serves breakfast food, I am met with my usual first world problem – do I want something sweet or savory? Will the aroma of sizzling sausage and bacon call my name or will the thrill of watching syrup drizzle over my pancakes send me over the edge? Well, it’s a breakfast for dinner kind of night and I decided to choose both. After all, why can’t french toast be savory too?

A touch of curry powder and coconut milk give this french toast recipe a little kick. It’s still delicious with classic butter, syrup and powdered sugar, but this evening I went the savory route with a poached egg and fresh parsley. Heavenly!
