Vietnamese Coffee French Toast
Description
Vietnamese Coffee French Toast is prepared by brewing strong Vietnamese coffee with a drip filter, then sweetening the hot coffee with condensed milk. This coffee mixture is combined with a beaten egg to form a custard for dipping. Thick slices of toasted bread are soaked briefly in this custard to absorb the coffee flavor without becoming overly soggy.
The bread is then pan-fried in butter on medium-low heat, allowing the outside to develop a golden, lightly crisp surface while the inside remains soft and infused with coffee flavor. Cooking over moderate heat helps prevent burning despite the sugars in the condensed milk.
Served warm and finished with extra condensed milk drizzled on top, this French toast offers a unique flavor profile that balances the bittersweet coffee and creamy sweetness. It is a breakfast choice that suits those who enjoy a coffee-flavored twist on a familiar dish.
Ingredients
- ⅓ C water 80 ml, hot
- 1 heaped Tbsp coffee grounds or more if you like it stronger, 10 g
- 2 teaspoon condensed milk or to taste, plus extra for drizzling on top
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon butter unsalted
- 2 lices bread thick-cut, toasted
Instructions
Make the coffee:
- Pour the hot water over the coffee phin filter and let the coffee drip into a heat-safe drinking glass.
- Add 2 teaspoon condensed milk to the coffee.
Make the custard:
- Whisk the egg into the coffee and milk mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl.
- Dip a slice of thick-cut toast into the mixture on both sides.
Cook the toast:
- Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon butter to the pan and swirl it around.
- Place the toast into the pan and pan-fry over medium low heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on it as it does have a tendency to burn.
- Repeat with the remaining toast.
