Hot Jam French Toast

This is perfect for those mornings when you have slightly more time at hand and you are in a mood to indulge without actually piling up the calories. This is also a variant of Nigella’s Doughnut French toast.

What you need:

Bread, Sliced (White/brown) without the crust – 4 ; Preferably a day old, because they absorb more.

Egg – 1

Jam/Fruit preserve – 4 tablespoons. I usually prefer strawberry or mixed fruit. Blueberry might be an interesting option; maybe you should try it out!

Sugar (Powdered) - 2 tablespoon

Vanilla essence- 1 teaspoon

Milk- 2 tablespoon

What to do:

Over each piece of bread, Spread the jam and make into a sandwich. With slightly damp hands press the two pieces together so they stick to each other, make two of these

In a shallow bowl bre

ak the egg and whisk with a fork, till it becomes slightly homogeneous. Add the sugar and mix till it dissolves. Follow that with the vanilla and milk.

Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture till the bread becomes eggy

Melt some unsalted butter( about quarter of a spoon) on a hot tawa and transfer the eggy bread on to it. If there is any egg and milk left in the bowl, Pour it over the egg at this point of time.

Once one side is brown, turn it over. I usually add a little sugar once one side is half brown before i turn it over again. This helps the bread to become extra caramelly and brown. Once both sides are cooked, slide on the plate and sprinkle some sugar on top (Only do this if your feeling realllllllllyyy indulgent! J )

You can eat it just like it is, Or top it up with some freshly cut strawberry and whipped cream. A light frothy Coffee completes the breakfast !

Bon Appetite!

(This recipe feeds one ; You can however, add one more tier to the sandwich and make it extra indulgent. Though it is not exxaaaactly adviced!! )
