How to Make Apple Gruyere French Toast With Red Onion
- Carefully cut a pocket into the bottom crust of each bread slice, about halfway through, keeping the top crust intact.
- Fill each pocket with half of the shredded Gruyere cheese and a few thin slices of caramelized red onion.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Let the bread soak in the custard for about 2 minutes per side, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Arrange half of the thinly sliced apples in a single layer in the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until slightly softened.
- Place the soaked bread slices on top of the apples.
- Cover the bread with the remaining apple slices.
- Cook for 1 minute, then cover the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid, increase heat back to medium, and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully flip the French toast and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
