Ingredients
  

  • 3 slices milk bread, slightly stale
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 40 g milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • oil for frying
  • condensed milk, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on 2 out of 3 slices of milk bread.
  • Stack the bread slices on top of each other into a triple-decker sandwich. Use a serrated knife to cut off the crust on all sides.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together egg, milk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed.
  • Add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom of a small pan on medium heat.
  • Dip the sandwich into the egg mixture on all sides. Don't let it sit in the liquid for too long otherwise it will become soggy and mushy.
  • When the oil is hot, place the sandwich in the pan. Fry on every side of the sandwich (6 sides total) for about 20-25 seconds until golden brown.
  • Serve your Hong Kong-style french toast with lots of condensed milk and butter and/or whipped cream.
