Ingredients (for 2 people):
*** for the toast
- 6 slices of bread – preferably broiche or a fluffy kind, though regular bread is fine (can use more or less depending on how hungry you are)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar (I use brown, though any works just fine)
- 3 eggs
- Butter for frying
*** for the frosting:
- 1/2 packet of cream cheese
- icing sugar (add quantity to your taste)
*** for the topping:
- strawberries or whatever fruit you fancy
Method:
*** for the toast
- Mix milk, sugar and eggs together in a medium sized bowl with flat base.
- Lay one slice of bread down in the bowl, letting the mixture seep in. Repeat for the other side. (You don’t want to leave the bread in the wet mix for so long that it’s soggy, but enough that it’s moist.)
- Add a small knob of butter to a hot pan and fry your toast one side at a time.
- You can cook one slice at a time, or add 2-3 slices depending on how big your frying pan in.
*** for the frosting:
- In a medium sized bowl, mix cream cheese, and sifted icing sugar to your taste.
- Sometimes I like it super sweet and sometimes I don’t, so I never measure this part.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*** for the topping:
- Stack up your toast, slather on that frosting and garnish with fresh fruit. Simple.
ET VOILA.
