Hong Kong French Toast

Step 1

Evenly spread the peanut butter on two slices of bread. Drizzle some condensed milk on top of one slice of bread. Add a pinch of flakey salt on top of the other.

Step 2

Stack the two peanut buttered slices of bread on top of each other. Then top with the last slice of bread.

Step 3

Using a serrated knife, cut off the crust then set the toast aside.

Step 4

In a deep pan, add about 1 inch of neutral oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 275F/135C.

Step 5

While the oil is heating up, combine the egg, milk and salt into a shallow plate. Whisk until fully combined.

Step 6

Dip each side of the toast into the egg mixture until all sides are coated and have absorbed all the egg mixture.

Step 7

Place the toast into the hot oil and dip each side for about 10-15 seconds to seal the toast. Once all sides have been sealed, lay the toast flat and fry on each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

To get the toast evenly golden brown, spoon the oil over the toast while it's frying until it reaches your desired color.- Remove and allow it to slightly cool on a wire rack.

Step 9

Serve with a knob of butter and a drizzle of condensed milk.

Step 10

Enjoy!
