Tostadas francesas | Tostadas de Bombay

Ingredientes

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup full-fat milk
• 1/4 cup whipping cream (or just use more milk (you can go up to 1/2 cup))
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 6 to 8 bread slices (stale preferred - meaning a day or two old)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons butter
• maple syrup (or honey or pancake syrup)
• berries (or fruits)

Preparación

1. 1

   Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle or any flat non-stick pan you have on a low to medium flame.

2. 2

   Add all the batter ingredients (except bread and butter) into a shallow dish like a brownie pan or pie dish (this helps to dip the bread slices evenly). Whisk until there are no large traces of egg yolk strands.

3. 3

   You may cut the bread slice further as a triangle or small squares or leave it as is.

4. 4

   Add butter to the hot griddle and spread it all over the pan.

5. 5

   Dunk one bread slice into the egg mixture for about 20 seconds on each side and place it on the hot buttered skillet. Repeat with bread slices as much as the pan can hold.

6. 6

   Toast until golden brown on both sides which is for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of your bread. Cooking time can vary based on the thickness and density of the bread as well as the amount of egg soaked into the bread.

7. 7

   Drizzle maple syrup or honey over each slice as you stack them up. Serve immediately topped with some butter, berries or banana or any seasonal fruit.
