French Toast

I'm feeling like having a French Toast, and been itching to try this recipe from the Japanese variety show that I watched some time ago. It's simple, cheap to make (especially if you already have jam in your fridge), and the most important, it's rich, filling and melt in your mouth! 




What you need:
1 Baguette - cut diagonally with about 3cm thick, 1 Baguette can make about 4-5 servings
For custard bath:
250 gr milk
2 no egg
20 gr sugar
Butter for frying
For sauce:
50 gr strawberry jam
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar (use the regular tablespoon, not the measuring spoon)
8-10 piece of mint leaves, chopped

How to:
1. Whisk custard bath ingredients until well mixed on a rectangular shaped container. This is easier for you to later dip the baguette.
2. When you dip the baguette pieces, press the side so that the liquid penetrate the whole piece quickly. But, don't leave it for too long, or it'll get soggy.
3. If your pan is a tefal based one, then you don't need butter to pan fried the french toast under low to medium fire. But using butter will add to the richness though, so it's your choice. Remember, control your fire, else your french toast will be burnt, fast.
4. Make the sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
5. Assemble: place the French toast whenever you like in your plate, glaze them with the sauce, and dig in!


Enjoy!
