1

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add a bit of salt.

2

Scramble the eggs with a fork until well mixed.

3

Use stale bread, preferably white, for better soaking.

4

Heat a nonstick pan on low heat and add butter to coat the bottom.

5

Soak one slice of bread in the egg mixture on one side, then place it in the pan.

6

Soak the second slice of bread while the first is cooking.

7

Check the middle of the bread to ensure it's soft and soaked through.

8

Turn the bread over in the pan to cook the other side, adding more butter if desired.

9

Cook until the bread is just golden, avoiding overcooking to prevent browning the eggs.

10

Remove the bread from the pan and serve with cheese, olives, tomatoes, and parsley.

11

For the sweet version, crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt, 2 tbsp sugar, and 150 ml of cream.

12

Whisk the mixture until well combined, resembling a custard.

13

Clean the pan with a tissue and heat it again on low.

14

Soak the smaller slices of bread in the custard mixture, turning them to ensure they soak well.

15

Add butter to the pan and place the soaked bread slices in, cooking until golden brown on both sides.

16

Serve the sweet version with powdered sugar, maple syrup, frozen berries, and mint.
