Easy 10-min. Hong Kong Style French Toast
Hong Kong Style French Toast. Layered French toast stuffed with peanut butter, coated in egg and shallow fried. Delicious with condensed milk and butter. A popular Hong Kong café dessert!
Ingredients
- 6 pieces milk bread or any square shaped white bread
- 4 tablespoon smooth peanut butter or sub with nutella, condensed milk or any nut butter of your choice
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoon butter as needed
- condensed milk as needed, or sub with honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- For one sandwich, evenly spread a thin layer of peanut butter on two slices of the bread from edge to edge. Leave 1 slice of bread without peanut butter.
- Place the two slices with peanut butter on top of each other with the peanut butter facing upwards. Place the last slice on top and lightly push down so it sticks together as one sandwich. Repeat step 1 and 2 for the remaining slices of bread.
- Slice off the crusts of both sandwich with a bread knife to create a square.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- Lightly coat sandwiches in the beaten eggs. Don't over coat it or it'll get mushy and hard to handle.
- Rest the sandwiches vertically on a plate as you work on the next step.
- In a large heavy bottomed pan, heat vegetable oil over low-medium heat (level 4 out of 10 on the dial or around 300 F). Then carefully lower one sandwich into the hot oil.
- Fry on all sides until golden brown (30 seconds on the sides and 1-2 minutes on the larger surface areas). Repeat the frying process for the remaining sandwich. Enjoy hot with butter and condensed milk!
