Chile-Cheese French Toast with Salsa 

Ingredients 
    3 large eggs 
    1 cup half and half 
    8 slices French or other white bread, cut diagonally, each 1/3 inch thick 
    1/3 pound jack cheese, shredded 
    1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles 
    1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro 
    2 cups salsa

In a wide bowl, beat eggs and milk until well blended. Dip 4 slices of bread
into egg mixture; turn to saturate. Arrange slices on lightly greased 12 x
15 inch baking sheet. Top bread evenly with cheese, then add green chilies
and cilantro. Dip remaining slices in egg mixture, coating both sides. Top
cheese-covered bread with plain slices to form 4 sandwiches. 

Bake in 400 degree oven until they begin to brown, about 12 minutes. With
side spatula, turn over and continue baking until they are puffed and evenly
browned, about 10 minutes longer. Cut in half crosswise. Transfer 2 halves
to each of 4 plates; overlap one half over the other. Offer salsa.

   I found this recipe on 1st Traveler's Choice Internet Cookbook
