Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah works well)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter or oil for frying
- Sweet red bean paste (anko)
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the matcha custard. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, matcha powder, and sugar until well combined. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Fry the coated bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Keep warm while preparing the red bean spread.
To serve, spread a generous layer of sweet red bean paste on each slice of French toast. For added flavor and presentation, sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with fresh berries and whipped cream if desired.
