It feels good to get back to your callings as often as you can.
Specially if the callings are from nature. But today, let's talk about something more appetizing.
It had been a while since I had gotten into the kitchen to do anything apart from the usual oatmeal/omelette deal of the day. And it had gotten, well to say the least, boring.
But recently did I discover a friend in boredom. No, seriously! Boredom can be a friend. But that's only as long as you don't want to be friends with boredom. Nevertheless, I won't bore you with my tales of boredom.
What I did cook up, was basically a no-brainer. I am still a bit puzzled as to how I got this recipe into my head. But regardless, it still remains a no-brainer. I call it err... Crap! I didn't name the dish!! Okay, oh yes, It's called the umm... Twisted French toast. Goodness! I miss my creativity! Let's get straight to it.
To make the Twisted French toast, you'll need
A sugar craving
A sugar craving
A sugar craving
A sugar craving
And a sugar craving...
On a more serious note, you'll need
A sugar craving
Some 3-4 day old bread *(I'll tell you why, a while later)
Eggs
Milk
SUGARRRRR!!!
NUTELLA(Or anything you want to stuff between bread slices, except vegetables of course)
And MOST IMPORTANTLY a wish to do something new in the kitchen
Besides, this is one time you'll get to beat something as much you want. Specially for the fact that here, the more you beat, the better the dish gets. Albeit, the only thing you'll be beating up will be eggs.
So start the stove and heat up a frying pan.
Beat 2 eggs in a slightly wide container. If you haven't wondered as to why a wide container, you suck! Well, if you did, I'll tell you why in a while**.
Add sugar as per your requirement into the eggs, some milk, and beat the egg-sugar-milk-mixture a bit more. Actually do me a favor. Beat them till they(the mixture..... or your hands) cry!! Just don't spill everything in the process. Else mom will come home and beat you till YOU cry!! And I am sure we don't want that.... Or maybe we do. SO feel free to spill all the beaten up eggs.
Take two slices of your 2-3 day old bread and spread whatever you want between them. Peanut Butter, jam, Nutella, anything that makes you feel like a 4 year old sugar junkie!
Now take your Sugar-junkie sandwich and dunk it into the eggy mixture. Just don't leave it in the egg mixture too long.
Or else
a) the whole thing will become a soggy mess
b) you'll end up with a lot of raw egg taste when you think you're done with cooking
Meanwhile, on the heated pan, put some butter, just a small knob. This isn't the place to try the EXXTRRA BUTTER trick. Why?? I'll tell you that too, but in a while***.
Make sure that you have evenly coated the sandwich with the egg mixture. If you have, what the hell are you waiting for?? HUH?? Put the dunked sandwich onto the buttered pan!
It's fun to watch all the bubbles coming from the sides of the sandwich as it cooks. Wait for not more than 15-20 seconds annnnnnd FLIPP!!!
If the pan was adequately heated up, you'll get a nice brown crusty breaded-eggy goodness. Another 20-or so seconds and your Sugar-paradise should be ready for you to devour.
Put your delectable sandwich on some fancy plate that has spent most of it's life in some kitchen compartment as a mere show-piece. Just clean it before you put your food on it. Get some cold milk in one of those big wine glasses (if you have them, of course!!). There's nothing that makes you feel better when you pretend to be as sophisticated as a 50 year old when IQ tests suggest that your mental age is probably 3. But that is another discussion. For now, let's concentrate on the gooey Nutella(or whatever you retardedly put between the bread slices) that's oozing out of your sandwitch every time you bite into it. Just don't forget dunking it into the cold milk.
Just in case you don't get sugar rush, WHAT ARE YOU???
In case you do, make merry! Jump around. And if you stay anywhere over the 1st floor of a building, stay away from the balcony.
Now for the * studded explanations
* The older your bread gets, the stiffer/harder it will be. Just don't let it develop molds.
Why do we want the bread to be firm? If you take brand-new bread and dunk it into the egg mixture, in to time will the bread collapse into a lump of mush. And we definitely don't want that!
** About the wide container for beating the eggs(preferably a big bowl), this is so that you can easily dunk the bread and move on, instead of a Mentos getting stuck in a coke bottle. By the way, if a Mentos gets stuck in a coke bottle, do not, I repeat DO NOT open the bottle cap!!! Specially of the cap is facing you. Now please don't ask of you can open the bottle cap if a Mentos gets stuck in a Sprite bottle. Please!
*** Do not put any amount of "extra butter" on the pan. Why? The dish is as it is super heavy. So if you do put extra butter, and you're Home Alone, you won't be able to eat beyond the first two bites, and the rest will go down the trash can.
The omelette-like thing is an omelette made from the left over egg-mixture. Yeah, that's about it...
