Garlic French Toast

Most of the times I am in a tearing hurry during the breakfast hours. Getting my son ready for school and packing his tiffin-box takes top priority closely followed by supervising all the cleaning stuff done by the maid. And in the midst of all this madness, I also try to get lunch ready, run the washing machine and finish writing my blog posts. Little wonder that a lazy breakfast while catching up on the morning news becomes a luxury. I blindly gobble up the stuff along my second cup of tea (without sugar hopefully) for the day. But on the days when the workload is less, I prefer to make something nice for myself. This recipe is one of those rare indulgences.

Preparation Time - 10 mins

Ingredients -

• 2 slices of bread (cut diagonally)
• 1 egg + 1 egg white
• 4 tbsp milk
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 2 pinch paprika (optional)
• 2-3 tsp grated Amul cheese (optional)
• 1 tsp fried oregano
• salt to taste
• butter for frying the bread

Preparation - Take the eggs in a mixing bowl along with the milk and salt. Grate the garlic into it. Whisk together.

Cooking - Heat the butter in a pan. Dip the bread triangles into the batter and place on the pan.

Flip over once the bottom side is cooked. Sprinkle some cheese over the top along with a bit of oregano (rub it between your palms first). The heat should be sufficient to melt the cheese. Remove from the pan once closed.

Repeat for the remaining slices. Enjoy with a cup of coffee.

Note - Always use bread slices that are on the thicker side. This way it will absorb sufficient batter.
