Sweet Eggy Bread (the perfect weekend brunch)

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Brunch
Cuisine: British

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 3 tbs milk (any kind)
  • 2 tbs brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 5-6 bread slices (any kind)
  • 3 tbs oil or butter

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs and milk together. Add the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Rip up the bread into small pieces (including the crusts) and add to the egg mixture. Let it sit for around 5 minutes so that all of the liquid is soaked up into the bread.
  • Add around 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil (or butter) to a fairly small skillet or frying pan (mine is 25cm).
  • When the oil is hot (or butter has melted), pour in the eggy bread and flatten until it is an even thickness. Reduce to a medium heat.
  • Cook the first side for around five minutes.
  • Flip the eggy bread over (the easiest way is to place a large plate over the top of the skillet and flip), and cook the other side.
  • Serve immediately with toffee sauce, melted chocolate, nuts, strawberries or Greek yoghurt. Whatever you fancy, really. Enjoy!
