🍞✨ French Toast (Hong Kong-style French Toast)・Tea restaurant classic devilish dessert

Editor's Preface

When it comes to afternoon tea and the most sinister desserts at tea restaurants, French toast (Hong Kong-style French toast) is a must-try! With its golden egg fragrance, crispy crust, and moist interior, the filling is a sweet and savory blend of peanut butter, topped with butter and condensed milk—it's a delectable delicacy for both young and old! We've compiled several authentic Hong Kong recipes, adding our own twists, to reveal these truly sinister yet blissful flavors.

Ingredients preparation

• 2 slices of toast (preferably thick bread, with edges removed)

• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (you can use custard, jam, condensed milk, cheese, red bean, etc.)

• 1-2 eggs

• 20g butter (part for frying, part for serving)

• Condensed milk / honey / syrup appropriate amount

• Oil Appropriate amount (can be fried or deep-fried, depending on your preference)

Detailed practices and steps

1️⃣ Prepare the sandwich filling

• Remove the edges of the toast (you can also keep the edges, depending on your preference).

• Spread peanut butter evenly on one slice, cover with the other slice, and press lightly to make a thick sandwich.

• You can also spread jam, custard, cheese, red beans, or even pork floss, kaya jam and other new variations of your own!

2️⃣ Dip in egg liquid

• Beat the eggs into egg liquid, and add a pinch of salt and a small amount of milk to enhance the smooth taste.

• Dip both sides of the sandwiches in the egg wash thoroughly and evenly (soak for 2-3 minutes for a better flavor).

3️⃣ Pan-fried/fried toast

• Heat butter and oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat (traditional deep-frying is done, but for home cooking, you can fry until both sides are golden brown or stand upright).

• Fry slowly over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown and slightly crispy, and the edges are also crispy, making sure the inner layer is cooked through.

4️⃣ Garnish the dish

• Before serving, place a thick layer of butter on the dough and pour a large amount of condensed milk/honey/syrup on it while it is still hot. The egg-flavored butter should be melted and mixed as the soul.

5️⃣ Variation Suggestions

• You can add custard , kaya jam , strawberry jam + condensed milk , strawberry + cream , cheese + ham , etc. It can be changed into breakfast or afternoon tea.

Editor's Tips

• The oil temperature for frying/pan-frying should be uniform, otherwise the edges will burn or the inner layer will not be hot enough.

• Peanut butter must be creamy (chunky has a better texture).

• The sandwich can be pressed firmly with the palm of your hand to make the crust stick more firmly and not fall apart.

• The butter should be half melted in the dough so that the egg and butter flavor will be most prominent.

• It's very tasty but high in calories. To reduce greasiness, you can choose to fry it with less oil and reduce the syrup.
