"I had french toast the first time when I was 10 years old and my aunt from America came over to Malta for a holiday. She Cooked the french toast for her children and me and served it with ketchup. This has nothing to do with her version of french toast which was the regular kind, but rather a quick meal in itself that can be prepared well ahead of time and baked at the last minute. This dish looks like pizza but without the effort. I always have toast bread in the house and this is perfect to use up the bread especially when it isnt so fresh anymore. feel free to change the toppings according to what you have at home, such as ham and cheese, olives, salami and cheese etc. Please do try this recipe and tell me what you think."

Ready In:: 50mins
Ingredients:: 10
Serves:: 4

ingredients

8 slices toast bread
4 eggs
1 cup milk (approx)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
2 tomatoes, sliced
4 slices cheese
1 pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
oregano

directions

Line a rectangular dish with baking paper.
Saute the onions and peppers, until soft.
Trim the crust from the bread and cover the bottom of the pan neatly with the bread slices. You might need to cut some so that no space remains.
Mix the milk and eggs with the salt and pour over the bread slices, covering as much as possible. You might need to make up some more of the egg mixture depending in how thick the bread is or how many extra slices you have put in.( 1/4 cup milk per egg).
arrange the sliced tomatoes on top, then the sauted peppers and onions. Cut each cheese slice into 4 strips and arrange on top.
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with oregano.
Preheat oven to 300F/ 150C, in the meantime the egg mixture will get absorbed into the bread.
bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the bread feels like french toast and the cheese is melted.
Brown the top lightly under a grill to toast slightly. serve warm or cold cut into squares.
I use cold leftovers for my kids school lunch the next day.

I live in a beautiful village on the island of Malta ( Europe) with my wonderful daughter, partner and two cats. I love the vineyards infront of my house or walking down to the valley of olive trees. ( I do pick olives every year) Some years ago I stopped working as a chef but still do a lot of home cooking. What I miss are the expensive ingredients I worked with, its rather hard cooking on a tight budget. My aim is to produce recipes that are very economical and yet nutritious. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <embed src="http://babystrology.com/tickers/baby-ticker-glass.swf?parent=Mommy&year=2010&month=7&day=28&babycount=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="120" height="180"></embed>
