Hong Kong French Toast Recipe
Hong Kong French Toast is a rich and delectable treat. The sweet and savory flavors make this irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients
- 3 slices of bread preferably white, milk, or challah
- 2-3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp condensed milk plus more for garnish
- neutral oil for frying
- knob of butter for garnish
- flakey salt optional
Instructions
- Evenly spread the peanut butter on two slices of bread. Drizzle some condensed milk on top of one slice of bread. Add a pinch of flakey salt on top of the other.
- Stack the two peanut buttered slices of bread on top of each other. Then top with the last slice of bread. Using a serrated knife, cut off the crust then set the toast aside.
- In a deep pan, add about 1 inch of neutral oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 275F/135C.
- While the oil is heating up, combine the egg, milk and salt into a shallow plate. Whisk until fully combined.
- Dip each side of the toast into the egg mixture until all sides are coated and have absorbed all the egg mixture.
- Place the toast into the hot oil and dip each side for about 10-15 seconds to seal the toast. Once all sides have been sealed, lay the toast flat and fry on each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- To get the toast evenly golden brown, spoon the oil over the toast while it's frying until it reaches your desired color.- Remove and allow it to slightly cool on a wire rack.
- Serve with a knob of butter and a drizzle of condensed milk. Enjoy!
