Ingredients

Scale

Custard:

  • 1 egg yolk

  • Honey or maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

1. Whisk egg yolk with condensed milk and flour.

6. Trim crusts from bread slices.

7. Whisk eggs, milk, and salt for dipping.

Notes

Use day-old bread for best results.

Do not overcook custard or it may curdle.

For extra flavor, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.

Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 2 days.
