Fotzelschnitten (Sweet French Toast)
A classic Swiss comfort food, these sweet French toast slices are made from old bread soaked in a milky egg mixture and fried until golden. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or a sweet lunch.
Steps
1
In a shallow dish, whisk together milk, eggs, 25g of sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
2
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soggy. Let excess liquid drip off.
3
Melt butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
4
Place the soaked bread slices in the hot pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches.
5
Arrange the golden Fotzelschnitten on plates. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and serve immediately with apple sauce.
