I know most of you have heard of French bread, but did you know about French toast? French toast, or toast, which we all ate as children, was created for practical reasons - to use stale bread, and is served in all parts of the world. In Great Britain it is known as eggy bread, in Spain torrijas, in France as pain perdu, and the name french toast was given to it by the Americans. Although no one knows where this dish comes from, over the years it has received a careful upgrade, which makes it a much more decadent choice for breakfast than a simple piece of bread dipped in a mixture of eggs and milk.
Today, not only dried bread is used for French toast, but also the finest pastries, and it is served with delicious fillings, cheese, prosciutto or sweet creams. It is a breakfast that should not be exaggerated, because it contains not so few calories, but considering that autumn has shown us its true face, we can treat ourselves to comfort food snacks. Below we bring you a recipe for French cheese toast, and if you don't get to try it today, you can prepare it over the weekend.
Ingredients:
1 larger egg (or 2 smaller)
4 tablespoons butter
a little salt
1/4 cup milk
4 slices of sourdough bread (you can also use plain bread)
1 cup next cheese
1/2 cup pesto sauce
2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
Preparation: Whisk eggs and milk and add a little salt. Dip the bread into the resulting mixture, then fry it in a pan on which you have previously heated 3 tablespoons of butter. When the toasts are done, make two toasts with cheese, pesto sauce and chives. Grease the refractory dish with the remaining spoonful of butter and place the toast in an oven preheated to 220 degrees. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
