Ingredients

A PDO
For 6 personnes
  • 6 slices of country bread (stale)
  • 1 egg
  • 20 cl of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil from Provence PDO
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Sugar

Tip

For this French toast recipe, we recommend using PDO olive oil from Provence for its notes of grass and raw artichoke, which can be complemented by hints of banana, hazelnut, fresh almond and tomato leaf. There may be a hint of spiciness on the finish. You could also use one of these PDO olive oils: Aix-en-Provence, Nîmes, Haute-Provence, Corsica – Oliu di Corsica, Vallée des Baux-de-Provence. Why not give our recipe for French toast with mirabelle plums a go?

Instructions

  • Vigorously whisk together the egg, milk and 1 tablespoon of PDO Provence olive oil.
  • Dip two slices of bread into this mixture (they must be thoroughly soaked).
  • Heat the oiled frying pan, place 2 slices of bread in it, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side (soak the remaining slices in the meantime).
  • Place the cooked slices on a plate, sprinkle with a little sugar, set aside (keeping them warm by covering them with aluminium foil or an upturned bowl) and cook the remaining slices.
  • Enjoy the French toast whilst it’s hot or warm.
