So here in Holland we have this tradition where we basically sit around a big grillplate with a lot of small, also know as 'gourmetten'. It's actually just cookingfor retards. But it's cozy (gezellig) and you can get really drunk with waiting for your food because these stupid pans barely reach a cooking temperature.
Anyway, I always have baguettes and other bread as leftover. It's a pity to throw away, so what do I make from it?
Turnover bitches! also known as 'wentelteefjes' in Dutch. You're welcome!
It is like french toast, you dip the bread in an egg/milk/cinnamon mixture and then you fry it in a pan! Perfect as hangover breakfast from all the wine you drank the evening before because your chicken filet took 2 hours to get done and you're still not sure if all the salmonella was cooked out.
Anyway, the recipe!
Dip both sides of the pieces of bread in the egg mixture. Don't leave them too long or they'll become too soggy
Add the pieces of bread and fry!
Cut your leftover bread in slices so the pieces are easier to bake.
Mix 1 egg, half a cup of (soy)milk, a big dash of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a deep plate (or in my case, an ikea tupperware box)
Melt some butter (a lot of butter is even better, but hey, my ass doesn't need to get bigger) in a pan.
Fry them until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Serve with some extra cinnamon and sugar. Or maple syrup. Or icing sugar. Or just with anything sweet that has a lot of sugar in it.
Love,
Sanne
