French toast, Poor Knights, or eggy bread, is a food created with bread and eggs. it is a Christmas time dessert in Portugal and Brazil. Where French toast is served as a sweet dish, milk, sugar, or cinnamon are also commonly added before frying, and it's going to be then topped with sugar, butter, fruit, syrup, or other things. Where it is a savory dish, it is usually fried with a pinch of salt, and then served with a sauce like ketchup or mayonnaise.
In Hong Kong, French toast is accessible all day spherical, however is especially fashionable for breakfast and afternoon tea in Hong Kong-style western restaurants and cha chaan tengs. it is created by deep frying stacked sliced bread dipped in beaten egg or soy, and served with a slab of butter and topped with golden syrup, or sometimes honey. two slices are normally used and a sweet filling is sometimes added, either peanut butter, kaya, or more rarely, jam.
It was galvanized by the French pain perdu. The Hong Kong version is to use a thick slice of white bread, soak it in beaten egg mix for a couple of minutes until it gets ’saturated’, and then deep fry it till golden. The finished ‘toast’ is then served with butter and golden syrup. They complement each other alright.
RECIPE:

How To Make:
Beat the egg.
Remove the crust if you like. Smear a thick layer of peanutbutter on one slice and top it with the sweet condensed milk. Put the two slices of bread together.
Soak the sandwich in the egg. Heat some butter in the pan and panfry the sandwich golden brown. Some Chinese restaurants fry the French toast, I prefer panfry, as it uses less oil/butter.
