French Bread Toast (Sweet & Spicy)

         French Toasts are just an easy and amazingly quick option for evening snacks.... Its called Pain Perdu in French...which means "lost bread" .... It is called "lost bread" because it is a way to reclaim stale or "lost" bread.... The hard bread is softened by dipping in a mixture of milk and eggs, and then fried....

         There are days when we want something sweet, we have the traditional Sweet French Toast or there are days when we need that spicy kick we go for Spicy French Toasts...

         The sweet toast brings me loads of memories from my childhood...my mom used to prepare this delicious toast often for our evening snacks... the aroma of this toasted bread makes us hungry while entering after a long day at school..

         I have got a new recipe from a facebook friend of mine with is both sweet & spicy...Its enhanced taste really melts in your tongue...It was a different experience...

Ingredients

1.Bread slices-10
2.Eggs-2
3.Milk-1/2 cup
4.Sugar-2 tbsp
5.Cumin seeds powder-1 tsp
6.Chilly powder-1/2 tsp or more according to the spice you need
7.Ghee- to toast the bread slices

Preparation

~Slice each bread piece diagonally to triangular shapes.
~Take a bowl & add eggs, milk, sugar, cumin seeds powder, chilly powder.
~Beat this egg mix finely.
~Heat 1 tsp ghee in a non-stick fry pan.
~Dip each sliced bread into the egg batter & place onto the fry pan.(one slice at a time)
~Do not overcoat the bread..bread might break..

~These slices of egg-coated bread are fried on both sides until they are browned and cooked through.
~Don't let it burn.
~Day-old bread is often recommended by chefs because the stale bread will soak up more egg mixture without falling apart.
~Serve this french toast topped with little honey or sprinkled with sugar..as you wish...
~I have used honey here.

Sweety Spicy toasty readyy!!!
Enjoy it with your loved ones...
