- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- tomato ketchup or brown sauce, to serve
Method
- Beat the egg with the milk and a generous seasoning of salt and black pepper in a shallow bowl wide enough for the bread.
- Heat enough vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a large frying pan over medium heat until the oil shimmers.
- Dip the halved bread slices into the egg mixture, turning them so both faces drink it up.
