some mornings you’re just craving whatever your mother and grandmother used to make

this time it’s parzheni filiyki, bulgarian eggy bread, an eastern play on french toast kind of? yesterday’s bread dipped in eggs and milk, fried until golden, then put on the table with sirene and jam. crisp edges, soft middle, salty cheese and something sweet in the same bite.

after yufka and popara in our other videos the childhood breakfast cravings continue

for two:
4–6 slices of slightly stale bread
3 eggs
60 ml milk
a small pinch of salt
sunflower oil for frying
sirene (bulgarian cheese better than feta), plus jam or honey to serve

whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a shallow bowl. heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. we used our favorite @hexclad_europe pan (link to check them out is in our bio)

dip the bread on both sides and let the excess drip off. keep it quick with soft bread; give stale bread a few seconds longer

fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. serve hot, with cheese and jam on the table so everyone can decide their own ratio.

what breakfast takes you straight back to childhood?
