Instructions
- Whisk the eggs with the milk in a broad, shallow bowl and season with salt.
- Take the garlic clove and rub it on the crusts of the bread, then dip the bread in the egg mixture, and let it soak for a few moments on each side.
- Heat a good pat of butter in a pan until it froths up and add the bread, frying for 2 minutes on each side or until set and golden brown. It will start smelling toasted, like brown butter, soon enough.
- Olia states, "Now for the mayo. I am a purist, and when it comes to childhood recipes, swapping out less rubbish bread is as far as I go. I like store-bought here. The Soviet stuff we had was quite acidic, almost spiky; Japanese mayo tastes similar. You can go crazy and add other things to the mayo as an experiment, but mine remains untouched. Spread a little bit (1 teaspoon) on the warm toast and then make it snow with the cheese. The cheese must be grated on the coarse side of the grater. Enjoy."
