Introducing Cha Seung-won’s French Toast recipe, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or a simple lunch using leftover bread. Dip slices of bread into a rich egg mixture and pan-fry until golden brown for a delightful brunch everyone will love. Let’s start with this easy recipe using just two slices of bread!
Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 30ml milk (approx. 2 Tbsp)
- 1-2 pinches of salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- A pinch of black pepper
- Cooking oil or butter, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your bread slices. Place the bread on a cutting board and cut them diagonally into triangles for easier eating. While you can cook them whole, cutting them allows the egg mixture to coat more evenly and makes them easier to handle while frying.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the egg mixture. Crack 2 eggs into a clean bowl. Add 1-2 pinches of salt to season; this will help balance the flavor and reduce any eggy smell.
Step 3
Next, sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper. Pepper is a wonderful spice that enhances the overall flavor of the eggs.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness. You can adjust or omit the sugar if you’re making this for children or prefer a less sweet taste.
Step 5
Pour in 30ml of milk (about 2 tablespoons) for a creamy texture. For an even richer, more luxurious flavor, you can substitute the milk with heavy cream.
Step 6
Using a spoon or a whisk, thoroughly beat the ingredients together to create a smooth egg mixture. Ensure the egg yolks and whites are well combined for consistent results.
Step 7
Dip the prepared bread slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Let the bread soak up the mixture so it becomes delightfully moist and tender.
Step 8
Now for the cooking. Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of cooking oil or butter over medium heat. Once hot, place the egg-coated bread slices into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low. This is crucial because bread soaked in egg mixture can burn quickly. Cooking over lower heat allows it to turn golden brown evenly before flipping.
Step 9
Once one side is nicely golden brown, carefully flip the bread and cook the other side until it’s equally golden and delicious. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the edges from burning.
Step 10
When both sides are beautifully golden brown, turn off the heat and carefully remove the French toast from the pan. Your delicious French toast is ready to be enjoyed!
Step 11
Arrange the perfectly cooked French toast on a warm plate. For an extra touch, you can dust it with powdered sugar or serve it with maple syrup, jam, or fresh fruits for a complete ‘Three Meals a Day’ Cha Seung-won style French toast experience!
