Move over, French toast: There’s a new, not-so-sweet way to start the morning.
Red Dog Toast, a savory, pan-fried bread dish dipped in a tomato soup and egg mixture, is getting lots of attention on our favorite subreddit, r/Old_Recipes, and for good reason. The recipe, discovered by Redditor LuLu Caldwell in the 1970 “Woman’s Day Collector’s Cook Book,” combines thick slices of bread, creamy tomato soup, eggs, butter and chives for a savory version of a breakfast classic.
Caldwell, who is cooking her way through the vintage Woman’s Day cookbook and posting her results on her @1970snoms Instagram account, says the recipe jumped out at her because of its creative way of making French toast.
“I think the recipe is unexpectedly clever, and makes a great savory breakfast, lunch or dinner,” Caldwell told TODAY Food. “I can see pairing it with a green salad for a more filling meal. I’ve made it twice for breakfast so far, and will definitely be making it again.”
2 eggs, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. paprika, 1/2 cup condensed tomato soup, 6 slices bread, butter or drippings, parsley or chives minced.
Beat first 4 ingredients until light. Dip bread in this mixture and sauté in hot butter or drippings until browned. Serve sprinkled with minced parsley or chives. Serves 3.
