This is savoury and only tiny bit sweet. It was part of the set offered at the Food Court at National University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore at Kent Ridge. We were there until 3am as there were no taxi to commute home in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, we had to be there as my husband was admitted to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) again.
Do you really need a recipe for French Toast? Actually yes and no.
This is such a classic and easy breakfast item. I don't think I ever learn to make it from any recipe book. From young in my childhood, French toast on a Sunday breakfast is like a real treat. My uncle will normally be the one to cook it. And since he is a natural, self-taught cook, by looking at the basic steps, it was easy to whip up my own French toast. Anyway, I thought I like to highlight the recipe from Nigella Lawson and the ingredients as follows:
- 2 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 4 slices white bread (from small loaf or 2 slices from large loaf) each slice cut in half triangles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 drop flavourless vegetable oil for frying
- ¼ cup superfine sugar
METHOD
Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a wide, shallow bowl.
Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture for *5 (actually 30 seconds is enough) minutes a side.
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan, and fry the egg-soaked bread until golden and scorched in parts on both sides.
To me this is really optional: *Put the sugar on a plate and then dip the cooked bread in it until coated like a sugared doughnut.
