Hong Kong Style French Toast

If you love French Toast, you'll love this Hong Kong style French Toast! We made this simple dish for breakfast and it constantly has us craving for more. This is a classic dish served at Hong Kong style tea cafes aka Cha Chaan Teng. Given Hong Kong’s status as a former British colony, it was inevitable that Hong Kongers develop a western taste in foods. This influence kickstarted tea cafes.

For this dish - all you need is White bread, Peanut butter, Eggs, Butter, and Condensed Milk. Typically it's deep fried but we decided to pan fry it for an healthier option.

Ingredients

Serves: 1

• 2 slices Milk bread or White bread

• 1-2 Tbsp Peanut butter

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 slice of butter

• 1 Tbsp Milk

• Sweetened Condensed Milk

• 2 Tbsp canola oil for frying

Instructions

1. Spread the peanut butter onto 1 slice of bread then place the other slice on top.

2. Add 1 Tbsp of milk to beaten egg and mix well.

3. Dip the bread into the egg until all sides are covered once. Don't double dip or it will become soggy.

4. Heat 2 Tbsp of oil on medium heat. Pan fry the bread on all sides for about 1 minute each side until golden brown.

5. Transfer onto a plate. Top with a slice of butter and drizzle with condensed milk!
