Masala French Toast is a flavorful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, combining traditional French toast with aromatic Indian spices. This recipe features bread dipped in a spiced egg and milk mixture, then pan-fried until golden and crispy, resulting in a deliciously savory and satisfying meal perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

Masala Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • Salt to taste

Bread

  • 6 slices of white or whole wheat bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale)

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Masala Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well. Add the milk, garam masala, ground cumin, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until all the spices are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Dip the Bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the masala egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaked through. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil. Let it melt and heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped bread slices onto the hot pan. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
  5. Serve: Remove the masala French toast from the pan and serve hot. It pairs wonderfully with chutney, yogurt, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for best soaking without sogginess.
  • Adjust the spice levels to your preference by modifying the chili powder amount.
  • Garam masala can be substituted with curry powder if needed.
  • Butter gives a richer flavor, but oil can be used for a lighter version.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
