Equipment

Ingredients

Chive butter

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 2 ounces chives chopped

French Toast

  • 1 head garlic
  • olive oil and salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 stick butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large garlic sourdough
  • butter for pan
  • hot honey

Instructions

Make chive butter

  • Let the butter sit out to soften, or microwave it for about 8 seconds and stir. Mix in the chives and a pinch of salt. Put it back into the fridge to firm. When it is medium-firm, roll it up in some plastic wrap to form a log and let it firm up more in the fridge until it is solid.

Make roasted garlic

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Slice the top of the garlic head off in a way that exposes all the cloves. Drizzle some olive oil onto the head of garlic and sprinkle with salt. Wrap the whole thing in aluminum foil and seal it.
  • Bake at 350 for one hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Pop out the individual cloves from the garlic head and put them into a bowl

Make the french toast

  • Put the eggs, milk, butter, raw garlic, roasted garlic cloves, garlic powder, salt, and honey in to a bowl. Blend smooth with a hand blender.
  • Slice the sourdough into 3/4 inch slices. 8 slices, 2 per person. Place in a shallow bowl or a few bowls, and pour the egg mixture over the bread. Allow the bread to sit in the mixture for 20 minutes. Flip the bread and let it sit another 20.
  • Bring a pan to medium heat and add the butter. Add the bread to the pan and cook about 8 minutes per side to brown and cook through.
  • Serve the bread with the chive butter and hot honey.
