Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 slices bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
Spice Blend:
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Garnish and Cooking:
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 green chili (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt in a wide, shallow bowl until thoroughly combined and spices are evenly distributed.
- Dip each bread slice into the spiced egg mixture, ensuring both sides are completely coated and absorb the flavorful liquid.
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and becomes fragrant.
- Carefully place the egg-soaked bread slices into the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the toast and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
- Transfer the masala french toast to a serving plate, creating a crispy exterior with a soft, spiced interior.
- Garnish generously with freshly chopped cilantro and finely sliced green chili for an extra burst of freshness and heat.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp, perfect as a spicy breakfast or quick snack option.
Notes
- Ensure eggs and spices are thoroughly mixed to guarantee even flavor distribution across each toast slice.
- Use day-old bread for better absorption of the spiced egg mixture, preventing soggy or overly wet results.
- Adjust spice levels by reducing red chili powder for milder versions or adding extra for heat lovers.
- Choose gluten-free bread to make this recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities, maintaining the same delicious masala flavor profile.
