Ingredients

  • 1 large free-range egg
  • ½ tbsp milk
  • vegetable oil
  • 2 thick slices of bread, halved
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • tomato ketchup or brown sauce, to serve

Method

  1. Beat the egg with the milk and a generous seasoning of salt and black pepper in a shallow bowl wide enough for the bread.
  2. Heat enough vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a large frying pan over medium heat until the oil shimmers.
  3. Dip the halved bread slices into the egg mixture, turning them so both faces drink it up.
  4. Fry the soaked bread in the hot oil for about 5 minutes on each side, until both sides are deep golden brown.
  5. Serve the eggy bread hot with tomato ketchup or brown sauce.
