Cozy up with Wiola's chive and cheese egg‑battered toast
On a cold December morning, we naturally seek warming and satisfying meals. We use a lot of energy to stay warm, so it's worth replenishing with the right amount of calories in the morning and after returning home. On Wiola's Culinary profile, I found a delicious idea for fried slices with cheese and chives. They're perfect for breakfast or dinner.
Cheese and ham toast, egg bread, or French toast: you can now add another idea to these tried-and-true warm meals. Wiola's coated bread offers a recipe that requires no extra additions. Mix everything needed for a wholesome meal in one bowl, including a fresh touch of chives.
What to fry Wiola's coated bread on?
You can use canola oil or clarified butter to fry slices in the egg mixture. Both types of fat have a sufficiently high smoke point, reducing the risk of harmful substances from burning fats. However, if you're concerned about cholesterol, canola oil is a better choice, as it contains fewer saturated fatty acids.
Add cream or yogurt to the mixture?
If you're mindful of weight gain, yogurt is better because it contains less fat than cream. Additionally, it's rich in probiotic bacteria, which improve intestinal function and support the body's resistance to infections. On the other hand, cream makes the mixture richer in taste. Furthermore, vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with some minerals, are dissolved in fats, improving the body's absorption.
