KITCHEN MISADVENTURE SERIES 59: French toast and Sunny side up bread

Today, I decided to forego our usual breakfast fare of rice and fried meat or fish and instead cook the bread I bought yesterday in two different ways. Actually, there is another reason why I made the bread into this, you see last night I saw some loaves on sale – at Buy 1 Take 1 prices and I figured since they are not yet expired but on the brink of expiring…why not! It turns out to be a wrong decision though coz when I opened the bread, I saw that the texture isn’t as fine as my favorite bread, Gardenia, but instead its full of airholes (parang buhaghag). I knew at once that the kids and the hubby would not like it and so rather than see the bread go to waste, I made them into French Toast and Sunny Side Up Bread!

For the French toast, you will need one egg, mixed with 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 1/3 cup of water. Then, place some butter in a non-stick pan dip both sides of the bread in the milk-egg mixture before frying in hot butter until golden brown. Flip the bread over to brown the underside and that’s it - the French toast is done!

The Sunny side up bread is also easy. Just make a hole in the bread and then carefully drop the sunny side up egg inside the hole and wait a bit until it gets cooked. No, I did not flip it anymore to cook the other side because the kids want the eggs to be mushy in the center. I just transferred the egg to a plate using a spatula and that’s it, sunny side up bread. I served the breads with sopas to make our breakfast a bit more filling.
