  • About

A classic French snack; add some slices of cheese or ham for a more substantial meal. This also makes a good breakfast or brunch with some grilled field mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • 6 thin slices of white bread, crusts removed
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 free-range eggs, beaten

Method

Cut each slice of bread into 4 triangles. Heat some vegetable oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Season the beaten egg with a little salt and pepper if you want, then dip the bread in it and fry for a minute or so on each side until golden. Drain on kitchen paper and serve.
