Challah 西多士 / HK style french toast / Peanut butter challah french toast
This is what happens when you leave me alone in the kitchen too long. I will have full intentions of making french toast whilst day dreaming of peanut butter jelly sandwiches and then realize that peanut butter french toast is totally a thing you grew up eating in Hong Kong. Then I'll be making peanut butter challah sandwiches and frying them soaked in hemp milk batter because I'm California-fied. Who knew that peanut butter french toast would be such a perfect blend of all my identities.
I've been dreaming of french toast (day dreaming about food is clearly a favorite frequent past time of mine) since I had that perfect Sunday morning with bae a couple weeks ago. We had a wake and bake bananas foster french toast feast. I knew we were meant to be when I realized how seamlessly we collaborate together in the kitchen to make every meal we have together epic. Dreams do come true. Even though not all Sunday mornings could be as perfect as that one, having french toast will guarantee brighten your day and satisfy your belly.
