Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn: A Greek Twist on French Toast
Summer slipped through our hands, and before we even noticed, autumn quietly arrived. But the beauty of summer lingers—in our hearts, in our memories, and even on our plates. One of my favorite ways to keep that sunshine alive is through food, and today I’m sharing a simple recipe inspired by Greece: French toast with a Mediterranean twist.
Why I Love This Recipe
This dish is the perfect bridge between seasons. It’s hearty enough for cooler mornings yet still carries the fresh, bright flavors of summer. Imagine golden, crispy bread paired with peppery arugula, juicy tomatoes, creamy feta, and a drizzle of Greek olive oil. It’s comfort food, with a touch of sunshine.
Ingredients
- 4-6 slices of homemade bread (or your favorite rustic loaf)
- 3 large eggs
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil, for frying
- Handful of fresh arugula
- 1–2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 80g Greek feta cheese
- Dried oregano
- Extra virgin Greek olive oil, to drizzle
Instructions
Prepare the bread: Slice your loaf into thick pieces. (If you’d like to bake your own, check out my homemade bread recipe!)
Whisk the eggs: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the bread: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each slice into the egg mixture, then fry until golden and crisp on both sides.
Assemble: Serve the toast with arugula, fresh tomatoes, crumbled feta, a sprinkle of oregano, and a generous drizzle of Greek olive oil.
A Taste of Summer in Every Bite
This Greek-inspired French toast is simple, vibrant, and satisfying. Every bite reminds me of late summer evenings, warm breezes, and unforgettable sunsets.
Goodbye, summer—you’ll always return. Until then, we’ll savor the memories on our plates.
