Description
This Hong Kong-Style Stuffed French Toast is a rich and indulgent take on a classic breakfast dish. Thick slices of milk bread are sandwiched with creamy peanut butter, dipped in a luscious egg mixture, and shallow-fried to golden perfection. Topped with butter and condensed milk, this treat is a perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and crispy.
Ingredients
Scale
4 thick-cut slices of milk bread (approximately 1-inch thick)
⅓ cup peanut butter
3 eggs
½ cup milk
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
1 tablespoon butter (for topping)
4 tablespoons condensed milk (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Spread the peanut butter generously on one side of each slice of milk bread.
- Assemble the sandwiches by pairing the slices, peanut butter sides facing each other, to form two sandwiches.
- Trim off the crusts of the sandwiches for a neater presentation.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-sided frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place one sandwich into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on the bottom (about 2 minutes).
- Flip the sandwich and cook for another 2-3 minutes until evenly golden and crispy.
- Remove the sandwich from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the second sandwich.
- Serve the French toast warm, topped with a dollop of butter and drizzled generously with condensed milk.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent twist, use flavored peanut butter or add a layer of jam.
- Substitute milk bread with brioche or challah for similar results.
- Best served fresh and warm to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor.
