You usually find them in local restaurants that serves a vary of breakfast food, milk tea and a rice plates. This is one of my favorite afternoon tea snack when I was young.
French toast was created in European and until this day, there are still French toast served in Europe. This specialty food was brought to Hong Kong during the colonial years under British rules. It became a popular afternoon tea choice and is now part of the distinct Hong Kong food culture.
The Hong Kong style French toast uses two slices of white bread instead of French baguettes. The most popular filling is peanut butter or jam. After deep frying the French toast, people usually add a slice of butter, syrup, honey or condense milk.
The Asian white bread is comparatively softer and fluffier. These breads soak up the eggs a lot quicker than French bread. The Hong Kong style French toast is therefore like a deep fried scramble egg filled with melting peanut butter. AMAZING.
Ingredients:
Asian white slices bread (you can keep the sides or cut them out)
Eggs
Peanut butter/ Jam
Oil
This time, I did not deep fry the French Toast but instead pan fry them for a healthier version. I also cut them into small cubes and served them as an appetizer for my boozy brunch.
1) Spread peanut butter on both slices of bread
2) Cut them into 4 small cubes
3) Soak them in the egg wash
4) Heat the oil and put in the cubes
5) Flip them till both sides are golden brown
6) Drizzle syrup or condense milk
Voila!
