Hello Foodies!!
Have you ever been confused with some of the dishes if they were to be eaten as breakfast,lunch or dinner? My ultimate French toast can be eaten whenever you feel like. It is one of the meals which is not only healthy and easy to make but the ingredients used are mainly store cupboard essentials for most of us.
I think the French have dominated on the name French toast but it can be American, Spanish, German, Tanzanian or British toast. Surprisingly the French call it the " Pain Perdu" meaning " the lost bread". In countries like Portugal and Brazil it was a Christmas time dessert. The origin of the name is not too sure, I have read it somewhere that it was actually a person called Joseph French who invented it. I do not want to go on with the history of French toast, but it intrigues me most of the times to know the history and origin of some of the food that we eat.
I know you would be thinking that my French toast recipe is sweet, but its actually salty and spicy. But it tastes divine. My best judge is my husband and he said so! and I made this recipe for dinner.
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tomato chopped
2 small red chillies finely chopped ( I use red chillies because I have a plant at home, if you don't have red you can use green or just chilli powder)
6 -7 olives, halved from the can (If you don't have, never mind)
3 eggs
6 medium slices of bread ( You can use whichever bread that suits you and that is available)
salt and pepper to test
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 - 1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoon or so of olive oil for frying
1. In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients together except the bread until everything is combined. In a pan heat 1 teaspoon of oil for each slice of bread, soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture at a time, make sure that the bread is well covered with the mixture together with the onions and tomatoes and fry it 1 - 2 minutes on each side. Serve hot!
You can make it your own by adding other veggies like peppers or courgettes. You can make it more spicy by adding turmeric powder, you can add cheese to it to make it a feast.
How easy can this be? It is full of goodness for everyone! It is a balanced meal.
Keep eating healthy!!
