Bread slices in vanilla flavor Sometimes, when you have no plans for dessert and still want something sweet and quick, this recipe really saves the day. The last time I made it at my husband's request, who suddenly remembered it. It's the kind of dish I discovered quite late, but since I learned about it, I've been preparing it in various ways, depending on my mood. For today's version, I settled on vanilla because that's what was requested. Quick Info Total time: 15-20 minutes Preparation time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 10-15 minutes (depending on how many slices fit in the pan) Servings: 2-3 Difficulty: easy Recipe type: breakfast or quick dessert Ingredients 6 slices of whole grain bread 4 eggs (ideally at room temperature) 1 cup of milk (also at room temperature) 1 pinch of salt 2-3 drops of vanilla essence sugar for decoration (granulated or powdered, as preferred) Preparation method 1. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add a pinch of salt. Mix well with a fork or whisk, just enough to combine. 2. Pour the milk over the eggs and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth. If everything is at room temperature, the mixture will be fluffier and will stick better to the bread. 3. Add the vanilla essence and mix briefly again. 4. Take each slice of bread and dip it one by one into the egg and milk mixture on both sides. It shouldn't soak too long, just enough to absorb. 5. Heat a pan with a little oil. Place the slices of bread and fry them on both sides until they are nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the slices. 6. Remove them onto a towel or absorbent paper to get rid of excess oil. 7. While still warm, sprinkle granulated sugar or powdered sugar on top (vanilla sugar works too). If you like, you can also add a little cinnamon. 8. Serve immediately, as is or with whatever you feel like in the moment. Why I make this recipe often Because it's quick to make and doesn't require complicated ingredients. It saves many lazy mornings or evenings when you want something sweet on the spot. Nothing is left over, so you don’t have to worry about storage. Tips and variations Tips If the eggs and milk are at room temperature, the mixture comes out airier and the fried bread has a more pleasant texture. Don’t let the slices soak too long in the mixture, especially if you’re using fresh bread, so they don’t break apart. They fry best on medium heat, so the egg doesn’t burn on the surface and dry out inside. Substitutions Instead of granulated sugar, you can use powdered vanilla sugar or even honey after you take the slices out of the pan. If you don’t have vanilla essence, you can skip it or try another flavor, according to your taste. The milk can be any type you have on hand. Variations For a savory version, leave out the vanilla and sugar, add salt, pepper, oregano, or even a bit of crushed garlic to the egg and milk mixture. This results in savory slices, great for breakfast. You can add cinnamon over the powdered sugar for an extra flavor boost. Drizzling honey over the warm slices is a quick option if you’re not in the mood for sugar. Serving ideas They can be served warm, plain, or alongside a cup of milk, cocoa milk, or hot chocolate. If you want, you can cut them into smaller pieces and serve as a snack. For those who want something more substantial, serve with fresh fruits. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use any type of bread? Yes, almost any type of bread can be used, but sliced bread that is not too fresh works best. Whole grain bread holds up better when soaked, but you can also try with white bread. 2. Can it be made without vanilla essence? Yes, the basic recipe works without vanilla. You can use another flavor or none at all, depending on what you have. 3. Can they be kept for the next day? Not really. Bread slices are best right after making them, when they are warm and fluffy. After a few hours, they become soggy and lose their texture. 4. Can I use plant-based milk? Yes, any milk works – soy, almond, oat, depending on your preference or what you have at home. 5. Can it be made in the oven? The recipe is designed for frying in a pan. I haven't tried it in the oven, and the texture might be different. Nutritional values Estimation for one serving (2 slices, without the sugar for decoration): - Calories: approximately 220-250 kcal - Protein: 10-12 g - Carbohydrates: 25-30 g - Fats: 8-10 g Values may vary depending on the type of bread, oil, and the amount of sugar added. Storage and reheating Bread slices are best right after frying. They don’t store well until the next day, as they become soggy and lose the right texture. If there are leftovers, they can be reheated slightly in the pan or oven, but they won't be like freshly made. It's better to prepare just as much as you consume at the moment.
