French Toast (Chlieb vo vajci)
Ingredients: 3 eggs, 5 slices of rye bread, salt
Prep time: 5 minutes
Shortly after coming to America, I went out for breakfast to some IHOP-like establishment. I clearly remember my shock: people put WHAT on french toast? Syrup?? Wild! In this recipe I show how french toast – or “bread in egg” (chlieb vo vajci) – is prepared in Slovakia. We eat it salty. This dish is also good for disposing of those end pieces of bread that are too small to make a sandwich.
Whisk 3 eggs (vajcia), salt liberally, and coat bread (chlieb) in the egg. We often use heavy breads, such as rye.
Fry on a hot, greased pan
Piece of cake! Add more salt if needed. As a side note, those tomatoes came from my garden. Another great snack or possibly breakfast is potato pancakes.
This is truly a piece of cake! I was using white bread, should checkout with rye bread.
such a simply meal but soooooo delicious!!
When you turn bread on the other side, put some grated cheese on the top and watch how it melts… and serve with ketchup
