Recipe

In a wide bowl, crack 2 eggs and add an equal amount of milk as the eggs.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt, then stir well with a chopstick until no lumps remain.
Submerge the bread into the egg mixture, turning it over repeatedly to ensure both sides are fully soaked and moistened through.
Heat a pan over medium heat, add a small amount of vegetable oil, then reduce the heat to low.
Place the soaked bread onto the pan and cook slowly on both sides, as the milk and sugar can easily burn if the heat is too high.
Once the bread is cooked through and soft all the way inside, transfer it to a plate and place a slice of butter on top while still hot so it melts from the residual heat.
Finish to taste by sprinkling with condensed milk or cinnamon powder, or serving alongside apple jam or other preferred spreads.

Mix eggs, milk, sugar, and salt to create a smooth egg mixture.
Soak the bread thoroughly in the egg mixture, then cook gently in a pan with a little vegetable oil over low heat.
Flip occasionally until golden brown on both sides, then serve on a plate and add butter, condensed milk, or jam to taste.

Cooking tips

Older, dry, and crusty bread works best—soaking it well in the egg-milk mixture results in a much softer and more tender texture.
Since sugar and milk in the egg mixture make burning more likely, always cook over low heat and gently.
Avoid adding butter at the beginning of cooking, as it burns easily; instead, use vegetable oil for even browning, then place butter on the hot toast to melt naturally.
For a different twist, spread generous amounts of apple or strawberry jam between two slices of bread before dipping in the egg mixture and cooking like a sandwich.
