Ingredients

Egg Batter

  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

French Toast

  • 2 slices white bread
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • condensed milk add as much as you like

Instructions

  • Make egg batter by mixing one egg, ½ teaspoon sugar, pinch of salt and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Mix until no egg white is showing.
  • Add peanut butter to two slices of white bread. Put bread together and soak in egg batter on both sides.
  • On medium heat, add slice of butter and fry toast on both sides until golden.
  • Top with condensed milk and enjoy with some milk tea. Hope you enjoy!

Notes

    • Use Soft White Bread. This will give you a delicate fluffy texture that's the signature characteristic of this sandwich.
    • Use Ingredients as Listed. For the most authentic Hong Kong style French toast and traditional flavors.
    • Soaking the Bread. It just needs to be long enough for the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
    • Removing the Crusts. I prefer to keep the crusts intact but you can trim them off before spreading the slices with peanut butter if you prefer.
