Preparing the bread

Cut 8 slices of white wheat bread and place them in the milk mixture on the deep plate.

Soaking the bread

Let the bread slices soak in the milk mixture for about a minute on each side so they soften but do not fall apart.

Heating the pan

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 25 g butter to the pan for frying.

Frying the bread

Place the bread in the pan and fry the slices for a few minutes per side until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy.

Whipping the cream

Whip cold 200 ml heavy cream and 9 g sugar into a fluffy foam in a separate bowl.
