Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and herbes de Provence until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (1 minute)

03

Step

Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Place the coated bread slices into the hot skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer the toasted bread to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Repeat with remaining bread slices. (6-8 minutes)

05

Step

In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach leaves and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly wilted. This should only take 1 to 2 minutes. (1-2 minutes)

06

Step

Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese onto two slices of the toasted French bread.

07

Step

Top the cream cheese layer with the wilted spinach and smoked salmon.

08

Step

Place the remaining slices of toasted bread on top to create sandwiches.

09

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a vegetarian alternative, substitute thinly sliced Granny Smith apples and aged Cheddar cheese for the smoked salmon and cream cheese. A sharp, tangy cheese complements the apples beautifully.
If you don't have herbes de Provence, Italian seasoning can be used as a substitute.
Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or brioche, to create unique flavor profiles.
A squeeze of lemon juice over the finished sandwich can brighten the flavors and add a touch of acidity.
Serve with a crisp white wine and a light side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

    This recipe was a hit! The herbes de Provence really elevated the flavor.

  • Beryl Padberg

    I made these for my book club, and everyone loved them!

  • Leon Abernathy

    My smoked salmon sandwich came out a little soggy. Make sure not to oversoak the bread.

  • Susanna Labadie

    I added capers. The capers added a salty component that balanced the richness of the salmon and cream cheese.

  • Krystal Auer

    I substituted brioche for the French bread and it was amazing!

  • Holly Lehner
