Bundás kenyér, often referred to as Hungarian French Toast, is a true classic for breakfast or a light dinner. This simple yet satisfying dish is a perfect choice when you want to prepare something delicious quickly. The crispy, egg-coated bread slices are golden brown and flavorful on the outside, while remaining soft and moist on the inside. Prepare it sweet with powdered sugar and jam, or savory with sour cream and chives – either way, it's irresistible!
ingredients
Steps
Mix the eggs
In a deep bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform.
Soak the bread
Dip the bread slices one by one into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Do not soak for too long, just enough for the bread to absorb the egg.
Fry until golden brown
Heat enough oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices into the pan and fry both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more oil to the pan if needed.
Serve immediately
Place the finished Hungarian French Toast slices on paper towels to drain excess oil, then serve immediately. Serve sweet (with powdered sugar, jam) or savory (with sour cream, grated cheese) according to your taste.
Extra Tips
► Don't soak the bread in the egg mixture for too long, otherwise it might fall apart during frying.
► Use thicker slices of bread; this way, the French toast will remain soft inside and become beautifully crispy outside.
► Experiment with toppings! It's delicious sweet with powdered sugar and jam, or savory with sour cream, grated cheese, or even sausage.
