Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 ml Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 20 grams Butter
- Optional toppings (e.g., grated cheese, herbs, or ketchup)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture well until combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are soaked but not overly soggy. Lift the bread from the bowl and allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Carefully place the soaked bread onto the hot frying pan. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, cooking in batches if necessary.
Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Use a spatula to carefully flip the bread and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the Gypsy Toast to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter.
Serve immediately while hot. You can enjoy it plain or garnish with optional toppings like grated cheese, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of ketchup.
