Eggy Bread aka “French Toast”

Eggy Bread is so easy, yet so delicious and filling. French Toast is exactly the same but sounds a bit posher. Serve your eggy bread with sugar, jam, golden syrup, tomato sauce, ANYTHING you like.

Eggy Bread is great for breakfast, or straight after school. Also, check out our low-fat alternative at the end of the page.

Ingredients

One large egg
Vanilla extract
Two pieces of bread (I like white bread for this)
Some butter

Equipment

A bowl (to beat the eggs in)
A fork
A frying pan
A spatula

How to make your Eggy Bread (or your French Toast!)

1.This is so easy. Cut the crusts off the bread.

2. Beat the egg with the fork until it’s smooth and yellow.

3. Add two drops of vanilla extract. (This is delicate. First pour a little of the vanilla into the lid of the bottle. Then drip it to the eggs. That way, you can’t go too far wrong). Beat the egg a bit more to mix in the vanilla.

4. Put a knob of butter (a blob the size of a conker) into the frying pan. Put it on a low heat. Butter goes brown really quickly. You want it to melt and bubble a little, that’s all.

5. This is the fun bit. While the butter is melting, dip the bread into the egg and coat it on both sides with mixture. Then – when the butter is melted and bubbling slightly – drop the eggy bread into the hot pan. It will take about three minutes to turn golden brown underneath. Flip it over and cook it on the other side.

6. Eat your French Toast while it’s hot, with whatever you like. I like it best with marmalade, or cinnamon and sugar.

If you want an even healthier version, use spray-on oil instead of butter. The recipe instantly becomes low fat!
