Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf day-old bread (French baguette or similar)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 pcs large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Cut the day-old bread loaf into 1-inch thick slices and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and whole milk until fully combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Take one slice of bread and dip it into the milk mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Ensure it’s saturated but not falling apart.
Next, dip the soaked bread into the beaten eggs, coating both sides evenly.
Carefully place the coated bread slice into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Remove the fried bread slices and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together. While the bread slices are still warm, sprinkle or generously coat them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serve warm on their own or with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
