How To Make Eggy Bread
Okay so you literally cannot go wrong when making our easy breakfast recipe – it’s super simple.
Step One – prepare the eggy bread
- Crack the eggs & whisk – crack two eggs into a small bowl or cup and whisk together with a fork.
- Coat the bread in the eggy mixture – pour the whisked eggs onto a dinner plate and press your slices of bread into the egg. Turn the bread over and coat the other side in the egg mixture too.
Step Two – cook the French toast
- Heat the pan – heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Make eggy bread – put the egg dipped bread into the hot pan and cook for around 2-3 minutes or until the bread is turning golden brown. You can just lift up a corner using a spatula or fork to check how it’s cooking.
- Flip the bread over – turn the French toast over in the pan and cook the other side until golden brown too.
Step Three – serve your French toast
- Serve – slide the egg covered fried bread onto a plate and serve in your favourite way – I like it with a dollop or tomato ketchup, but there’s more serving ideas below.
