Hong Kong-Style French Toast
Hong Kong-style French toast is a sandwich made from thick slices of milk bread filled with peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk, dipped in an egg custard mixture, then pan-fried until golden and served warm. The soft bread soaks up the egg mixture without falling apart, creating a tender, custardy crust. The peanut butter and condensed milk filling adds creamy sweetness that contrasts with the lightly crisp exterior.
