Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 egg
  • 1/4 cup whole milk 60 milliliters
  • 1 garlic halved, small clove
  • 4 lices bread stale-ish
  • butter to fry, unsalted
  • 2-4 tablespoons mayonnaise store-bought is fine, Japanese Kewpie the best
  • 3 1/2 ounces gouda cheese or similar, coarsely grated, 100 grams
  • salt sea salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs with the milk in a broad, shallow bowl and season with salt.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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."
