• 200 ml condensed milk
• 3 eggs
• pinch sea salt
• pinch cinnamon

• 1 tsp grapeseed oil

Instructions

1. Use a whisk to combine the milk, condensed milk, eggs, salt and cinnamon in a bowl before transferring to a shallow dish.

2. Place the butter and oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

3. Dip each slice of bread into the condensed milk mixture and place it into the frying pan. Cook both sides until golden brown.
