Ingredients
- 2 slices of multigrain bread
- 2 large eggs
- 20g red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup (approx. 60ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 slices (approx. 20g) unsalted butter
- Sugar, to taste
- Dried parsley flakes, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gather all your ingredients to prepare for making delicious French toast. Using bread that isn’t too thinly sliced will result in a more satisfying texture.
Step 2
Wash the red bell pepper, remove the seeds, and finely mince it. The pepper’s mild sweetness and vibrant color will add a special touch to your French toast.
Step 3
Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl. Remove the chalazae (the white, stringy bits) to ensure a smoother custard. Pour in 1/4 cup of milk and whisk well to create the egg mixture.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the egg mixture and whisk until completely smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. It’s important for the fragrant cinnamon spice to fully meld with the custard.
Step 5
Stir in the finely minced red bell pepper into the custard mixture from step 3. Gently mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Ensuring the pepper is well dispersed will make the French toast visually appealing and flavorful.
Step 6
Dip the bread slices into the prepared egg mixture, soaking both sides thoroughly. Letting the bread soak for about 10 seconds per side will help it absorb the custard, resulting in a wonderfully moist French toast.
Step 7
Melt 2 slices of butter in a heated non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, carefully place the soaked bread slices into the skillet.
Step 8
Once one side of the bread is golden brown, carefully flip it using a spatula. Cook the other side until it also reaches a delicious golden-brown hue. Your French toast is now ready!
Step 9
Cut the finished French toast into desirable portions, typically on the diagonal. Sprinkle with sugar to your liking and a pinch of dried parsley flakes for an elegant garnish, making it a perfect brunch dish.
