Melted Texture Hotel Okura French Toast

Hachimitsu French toast（はちみつフレンチトースト)

What kind of dish is Hachimitsu French toast??

It is a dish made by soaking bread in sugar, milk, and eggs and baking it. I put plenty of honey on the baked French toast. This French toast is full of flavor and melts in your mouth.

French toast is a standard breakfast item at hotels. This recipe is based on the one published on the Hotel Okura’s official website.

On days when I can spend a leisurely morning, I take the time to let the egg mixture absorb and then slowly bake it. Eating sweet French toast makes me feel relaxed.

If you add fruit or ice cream as a topping, it will look like the sweets you eat at a cafeꕤ…˖*

You can cut off the crusts of the bread, but I like to eat the slightly crispy crusts.

I used white bread in this time, You can also use baguettes. By the way, white bread is called “shokupan” in Japan. Honey is called “hachimitsu”.

Even so, eggs and dairy products are expensive these days…
These days, I’m wandering around the supermarket wondering whether to buy or not.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
