This changes everything.

It’s easy to hit a wall when it comes to sandwiches. You find a couple of sandwiches that you like and you settle for them, even if you secretly stopped loving them a long time ago.

But it doesn’t have to be like this!

We want to reignite your passion for sandwiches with this novel twist on an old classic. French toast can be a hit and miss affair. It’s fine as long as you don’t mind the inevitable sugar rush that follows.

Now imagine you could keep all the best bits of French toast but give it a savoury spin to turn it into a much more satisfying feed. Interested?

We teamed up with Henry Denny’s Meat Masters to find the best sandwiches out there and we think you’ll love this version, which includes slow-roasted chicken in a herby, buttery rotisserie glaze. We believe that very few sandwiches can’t be endlessly improved with the addition of meat.

And we’re confident that you’ll agree when you give it a go. Enjoy!

Ingredients (makes 2): 
  • 4 slices brioche bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/8 cup snipped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 Roma tomato slices
  • 2 lettuce leaves
  • 4 slices of Henry Denny’s Meat Masters Rotisserie chicken.

Method:

  1. The night before, set the sliced bread out on the counter to dry out slightly.
  2. In the morning, preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  3. Whisk together eggs, milk, chives, Parmesan, and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Lay bread in a single layer in a large shallow dish and coat with egg mixture. Soak 20-30 minutes, turning once.
  4. In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. When butter sizzles, add bread and cook until golden and crisp around edges, about 3-5 minutes per side, flipping once.
  5. To serve, layer tomato, lettuce, and Henry Denny’s Meat Masters Rotisserie chicken on a slice of French toast, and top with another slice or serve open-faced.
  6. Add cheese to the top of the sandwich and bake in the oven until melted.
