Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Bread with Milk and Butter:
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (any type you prefer: white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional for a sweet version)
- Cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling (optional for a sweet version)
Instructions:
- Warm the Milk:
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan.
- Heat the milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top.
- If you want a sweeter version, you can add sugar and vanilla extract to the milk while it’s heating. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Prepare the Bread:
- While the milk is warming, toast the bread slices lightly. You can use a toaster or place them under a broiler until they are just slightly golden. This step is optional but adds a nice texture to the dish.
- Butter the Bread:
- Spread butter generously on each slice of bread. The warmth of the toast will help the butter melt and soak into the bread.
- Assemble the Dish:
- Place the buttered bread slices in a shallow bowl or plate with a rim to contain the milk.
- Pour the warm milk over the buttered bread. The bread will soak up the milk, creating a soft and comforting texture.
- Add Final Touches:
- For a savory version, you can add a pinch of salt to taste.
- For a sweet version, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the bread and milk mixture.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and the milk is fresh. Enjoy your comforting and simple Bread with Milk and Butter!
Tips:
- You can experiment with different types of bread and toppings. For example, adding jam or honey for a sweeter taste or a sprinkle of cheese for a savory twist.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can toast the bread more thoroughly before adding the milk.
Enjoy this simple yet delightful dish that can be a comforting breakfast, snack, or even a dessert!
