It's Friday! What plans do you have for the weekend? Going out? Staying in?Travelling? Me you ask? I'll know by the end of today. Anyhu' enough ramblings for a second and let's focus on matters at hand. French Toast baibe! I have always loved Eggs, Bread, put them together and you'll have a little dance in your mouth. Making French Toast is so simple I have no idea why I do not make and eat it everyday of the week. Let me school you a bit about what a French Toast is. A French Toast is also known as Bombay Toast, Eggy Bread, German Toast, Torrija, Gypsy Toast or Poor Knights. It is made of Bread (White or Wholewheat) soaked in milk, then in beaten eggs and then it is fried. Preparing the French toast varies in many different places. There are those who dip their bread in milk only then the eggs added afterwards. French Toast is not only dipped in milk you can actually dip your French Toast in other liquids like Orange Juice, Rosewater and even Wine. You can dip the French Toast in these liquids before you cook or after you cook.In Hong Kong French Toast is made by deep frying sliced bread that has been beaten in Eggs and it is served with butter and then topped up with Golden Syrup or honey. The Spanish on the other hand have a different way of cooking their French Toast. Their version is called Torrija that is prepared during Lent and Holy Week. They soak stale bread in Wine, Milk, Honey and Spices. It is dipped in beaten Egg and fried with Olive Oil. This is done so that the process breaks down the fibres which results in Pastry that has a crispy outside and a smooth inside. They then sprinkle Cinnamon as the final stage. So so many ways you can make French Toast. Mine I decided to use Wholewheat Bread, I wanted to see whether it would still be great like using White Bread and it never disappointed. Make yourself a French Toast this weekend, I just might too.
