Making Groningen-style French toast

French toast is always a good idea. But what if you’ve got ‘Oude wijvenkoek’ left over instead of stale bread? No problem. You can make delicious French toast with this too. And with a Groningen twist, at that. Delicious as a snack, dessert or breakfast. Top your French toast with caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream. Or give the recipe your own twist and go for fruit and a sprinkling of icing sugar. Is your mouth already watering at the thought of this ‘Olwief’? Enjoy cooking!​

Ingredients for 2 people

4 slices of Oude wijvenkoek
1 egg
125 ml milk
A knob of butter (for frying)

And to top it all off:
Caramel sauce
Whipped cream

Development

Cut four slices of Oude Wijvenkoek. Mix the milk and egg together in a flat plate. Whisk well until thoroughly combined. Then dip the slices of Oude Wijvenkoek into the egg mixture.

Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the slices until they develop a lovely golden crust. Serve the Groningen French toast with caramel sauce and a dollop of fresh whipped cream.

Enjoy your meal!
