  • Dip both sides of the bread in the egg/milk mixture. When the butter begins to foam, place the soaked bread in the pan. Cook over medium-low heat (not higher) until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side, pressing on the middle of the bread with a spatula to ensure contact with the pan.

  • The toast is excellent as is, but you can drizzle it with sugar-free syrup and dust it with sugar-free confectioners' powder if you wish.

Notes

  • Cook the bread slices patiently over medium-low heat. This will ensure even cooking. You should also gently press on the middle of the bread with a spatula. Otherwise, the bread tends to brown on the edges rather than all over.
  • The sweetener is optional. If you plan on serving this dish with syrup, there's no need to sweeten the bread itself. I usually sweeten it with a touch of stevia because I don't use syrup.
  • Make-ahead and storage: While this toast is best when served fresh, you can make a few, allow them to cool, then freeze them in individual freezer bags (or in one freezer bag, separated with wax paper squares). Gently thaw a slice each morning in the microwave at 50% power.
