Ingredients
- Bread (a day-old bread)
- Peanut butter or any nut butter
- Salad dressing
- 3 eggs
- 20 ml milk
- Butter (for pan-frying)
- Toppings (Condensed milk, butter, or honey)
Instructions
- 1
Remove the crust on all sides of the bread and cut it into four equal squares. Make sure the slices are equal to get a better-looking sandwich and make it easier to pan-fry the sides evenly.
- 2
Spread peanut butter or salad dressing on each slice. You can alternate it for your 3-layer sandwich.
- 3
In a bowl, whisk together three eggs and 20ml of milk until well blended. This is also the part where you can strain the egg mixture to make it smoother for dipping.
- 4
Dip the entire sandwich into the egg mixture. The edges should be well-coated without oversoaking. Oversoaking can cause it to fall apart when pan-fried.
- 5
Heat a bit of butter in a pan over low heat. When the butter is melted and starts to bubble, place the sandwiches in the pan.
- 6
Fry the sandwich on all sides until each side turns golden yellow with a bit of crust. It should have a bit of brown for a crispier crust.
- 7
Finally, drizzle some condensed milk, maple syrup, or honey on top for additional sweetness and flavor.
