Milk French Toast with Peppered Ham and Mustard
Lazy Sunday morning, a warm lemon tea drink and hot milk French toast…I couldn`t imagine a more perfect start to my day while laying beneath the kotatsu on a cold winters morning. This quick yet delicious snack only took around 6 minutes in total to make and I think you`ll agree that it`s pretty straight forward. Make your lazy Sunday a little on the French side, but don`t leave the kitchen without that knife and fork handy.
Ingredients
- 150ml milk
- 1 egg
- 2 Slices of cheese
- 4 Slices of thick bread
- Peppered Ham
- Mayonnaise
- Mustard
- Butter
Method
- Mix some mayonnaise together with the mustard in a small bowl. Personally, I prefer roughly 3 parts mayo to 1 part mustard.
- Beat the egg into a separate large bowl and pour in the milk. Give it a quick mix.
- Dip a slice of bread into the large bowl, allowing the bread to fully soak up the milk-egg mixture. Remove it and place the peppered ham along with the mayo-mustard mix and cheese on top.
- Fully soak another slice of bread, place it on top and fry on both sides using butter in the frying pan.
- Repeat steps three and four. Serves 2.
In addition to the ingredients, I also prefer a light sprinkle of salt on top to enhance the flavour. With or without it though, I`m very certain you`ll enjoy this snack.

Actually, I haven`t got my new camera yet. A kotatsu, and I probably should create a link to one, is a Japanese-style mini table-top where you sit with your legs underneath, which is covered in a special blanket and has an inbuilt heater inside. Totally perfect for Winter.
