Equipment
- heavy-based pan or skillet
- mixing bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 8 slices toast bread

- 4 teaspoons cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl or a plate, whisk the eggs then add the milk and salt.
- Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, allow to slightly soak, and then flip in order to coat both sides.
- Heat oil in a pan or skillet. Lift each slice of bread to drain as much of the egg-mixture as possible into the bowl, then place the slices on the pan.

- Once done, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top then serve.
Notes
Make yourself a savory version of this recipe (''Herzhafte Ritter'') by making it with cheese and bacon. You may need to use a little bit more or less oil, depending on the type of pan you are using. A combination of butter and oil helps prevent the butter from burning too quickly. For the same reason, I recommend wiping your pan after each 1-2 batches.
