Our eggy bread recipe is the perfect cross between a cheese and ham sandwich and classic French toast. Buttery, golden and just a bit crunchy, this dish is ideal if you’re craving some stodge, or need to ease a hangover. Cheese and ham is a delicious filling but this recipe would work just as well if you wanted to leave them out, and make some straightforward eggy bread instead. This eggy bread sandwich is great on it’s own, but you could also serve with some rocket, a handful of cherry tomatoes and a dollop of our easy homemade tomato ketchup. Season generously throughout.
