Golden fried egg-dipped bread slices
🇭🇺 Great Hungarian Plain
Bundáskenyér, literally "fur-coat bread," is Hungary's savory French toast: slices of bread dipped in a beaten egg-and-milk batter and fried until golden and crisp. A thrifty way to use up bread, it is a beloved quick breakfast or supper, eaten plain, with a rub of garlic, or a dab of jam.
