Re: eggy bread




Our GSL loves doing eggy bread as someone made it for him once.

We rib him about his recipe as his consists of about 6 pints of milk to 2
eggs (a little more like milky bread) - I'm sure someone will have a more
realistic recipe.

That I'd like to see. When you cook eggs the albumen sets. When you
dilute with milk, there is only so much that the eggs will take before
they reach the point where they will not set at all.

As a guide 4/5 eggs per pint of milk is the norm for a setting
custard. Which essentially is what you use with eggy bread. You may
get away with 1.5 pints, but going above two will probably be a bit
runny.

We don't do eggy bread on camp, but we have done at home and we always
soak the bread through before frying it off.
