Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

- 8 slices of stale bread (ideally homemade or a baguette)
- 4 eggs
- a pinch of iodized salt (to taste)
- palm oil (or another vegetable oil) for frying

Preparing the Fluffy Bread

1. Prepare the ingredients
Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. It is important that the bread is a little stale as it absorbs the beaten egg better without falling apart. If you don't have stale bread, you can use fresh bread, but you will need to leave it out for a few hours to dry a bit.

2. Beat the eggs
In a large bowl, crack the 4 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs vigorously. The goal is to achieve a homogeneous, slightly frothy mixture that will coat the slices of bread.

3. Heat the oil
In a deep frying pan, pour enough palm oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. It is important that the oil is well heated before adding the bread to achieve a crispy crust.

4. Dip in egg
Take each slice of bread and immerse it in the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated on both sides. Then, let the excess egg drip off a bit to avoid pooling in the pan.

5. Fry the bread
Place the slices of bread in the pan without overcrowding. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they become golden and crispy. If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can leave them for a few extra minutes.

6. Serve
Once the slices are fried, remove them to a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. You can serve them plain or with various toppings, such as cheese, cheddar, or melted cheese. A delicious combination is to add slices of tomato and a handful of fresh herbs for an extra freshness.

Useful Tips and Tricks

- Recipe variations: You can add spices to the eggs, such as pepper, oregano, or herbes de Provence, to give a different flavor. You can also experiment with different types of bread, such as whole grain or seeded bread.

- Fluffy bread with vegetables: A delicious variant is to add sautéed vegetables (such as zucchini or peppers) between two slices of fluffy bread before frying them.

- For a hearty breakfast: Serve Bundas Kenyer with a fresh pea sauce, which can be quickly prepared by boiling and blending peas with a bit of butter and salt.
