Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 6 slices milk bread or square white bread
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) smooth peanut butter
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) vegetable oil
Topping Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter
- Sweetened condensed milk to taste
Instructions
- Craft delectable sandwiches by generously spreading peanut butter across four bread slices, then layer two buttered slices with a plain slice to create two compact stacks.
- Meticulously trim bread crusts, transforming sandwiches into neat, symmetrical squares.
- Delicately immerse each sandwich into whisked eggs, ensuring a light, even coating without oversaturating the bread.
- Position sandwiches vertically momentarily while preparing the frying station.
- Warm cooking oil in a skillet to low-medium temperature (around 300F), creating an ideal golden-brown environment.
- Carefully place sandwiches in heated oil, frying each side systematically: 30 seconds on narrow edges, then 1-2 minutes on larger surfaces until achieving a rich, crispy exterior.
- Transfer golden-brown toast to serving plate, presenting immediately with a luxurious drizzle of condensed milk and a quivering pat of butter.
Notes
- Choose smooth, creamy peanut butter for a consistent spread without lumps.
- Avoid using stale bread to maintain a soft, fluffy texture inside the toast.
- Select white bread with a soft crumb for authentic Hong Kong-style results.
- Pat sandwiches gently with paper towels after egg coating to remove excess moisture, ensuring crispy exterior.
