Directions
For the syrup
In small saucepan, add balsamic vinegar, and simmer on medium low until reduced by 1/2 and has a syrup consistency. Set aside, away from heat.
For the tomato topping
Cut cherry tomatoes in half, add to medium sized mixing bowl. Add minced garlic, 1-2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a light squeeze of lemon juice and salt/pepper to taste.
For the French toast
- Whisk together eggs, half & half, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Pour mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, add brioche, and soak, for about 1 minute per side.
- Melt butter, 1 tablespoon per slice in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling.
- Add brioche, and cook on 1 side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
- Place browned brioche on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 400F for 10 minutes.
- Remove toast from oven and plate.
- Top each serving of toast with tomato mixture, a drizzle of balsamic syrup, additional parsley, freshly grated pecorino (parmesan works too!”> and lemon zest.
