French Toast

When we were young my mom would always make this for us to bring to school or for breakfast. Back then I didn’t know it’s French Toast, I thought it’s my mom’s special creation of sweetened condensed milk with egg and bread, with a slight saltiness from the butter. And it has such a wonderful aroma and nowadays when I make this for my little girl which happens to be her favourite snack it brings back fond memories of me and my mom during my early childhood days. It’s a pretty simple recipe and you can have many variations of French Toast which I’ll share one of them with you in this same post.  

You Need
1 egg
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
a pinch of salt
butter
3-4 slices of white bread

How To
1. Break egg into a wide,shallow plate and beat lightly with a fork. Add in the remaining ingredients except for the bread.
2. Over medium-low heat, heat non stick pan with a thin layer of butter or margarine.
3. Place the bread slices, one piece at a time in the plate and let the bread soak up the egg mixture and turn to the other side. Make sure both sides are well coated but don’t let it soak too long otherwise the bread would turn out soggy. You want the French Toast to be light and eggy not soggy*.
4. Transfer bread slices to pan.heating slowly until bottom is golden brown. Turn and brown the other side.
5. Serve and enjoy on its own or you can have them with maple syrup.

Note
* To prevent from soaking the bread too long, what I usually do is when I turn over the slice of bread cooking on the pan, brown already on one side then I’ll place the white bread slice into the egg mixture. So when I dish out the cooked French Toast, I’ll transfer the soaked bread to the pan.
** You can substitute the white bread with slices of baguette/French Bread
