Sourdough french toast

This exceptionally easy breakfast dish is also called eggy bread. In India, it is called Bombay toast, a name coined by the Mumbai street vendors. It can be sweet and sugary with toppings of jam, cream and fruits like strawberry, banana. It can also be made spicy and savory, with salt and pepper and served with ketchup and sausages. We have a local coffeeshop cum bakery called French Toast where their specialties are just this. It was one of our favorite haunts pre-pandemic times.

The mystical ingredients are..

Sourdough oats bread - 5 slices

Organic brown egg - 1

Honey - 1 tsp

Cinnamon powder - a little more than pinch

Milk - 2 Tbsp

Olive oil - 1 Tbsp

Whisk egg, milk, honey and cinnamon.  Slice bread into small pieces (if you want to. I did, so that everyone gets an equal number). 

Heat a saucepan with oil. Dip the slices in the eggy mixture and gently place on the pan. After about 5 minutes on low heat, flip the slices. Pan fry until both sides are evenly cooked.
