Matcha Toast – Green Tea Toast Recipe
Valentines Day is coming and this Matcha Toast is definitely something you and your Valentine are sure to enjoy. Best of all, it’s elegant and easy to make. We combine the best of 3 great things in one recipe; the simplicity of French toast, the decadence of tres leches and the experience of cracking that caramelized sugar crust of a creme brulee. This is a triple threat that’s sure please.
Inspired by Anthony Myint of Mission Street Food. You are my culinary hero.
- 500ml Half and Half
- half can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons matcha (green tea) powder
- a loaf of thick-sliced bread (Texas toast)
- sugar
- butter
Ok, guys, a very easy recipe here and we’re gonna start with a large mixing bowl with 500ml of half and half and about 2 teaspoons of matcha green tea powder. Whisk them together until well combined then add about half a can of sweetened condensed milk to taste. Continue whisking until the ingredients are well combined then set aside.
Now grab yourself a couple of slices of thick-sliced bread or Texas toast and spread each slice with 2 tablespoons (don’t judge me) of butter. Pop them under the broiler until the edges turn brown.
When the bread is ready, dip the slices butter-side down (just like how you drop them) in a plate of sugar. Sprinkle more sugar to coat the bread evenly. Now grab a chef’s torch and slowly cook the sugar layer until evenly browned. If you don’t have a torch, simply pop your sugar toast back under the broiler.
When your toast is done, it’s time to plate up. Put a nice generous pool of the green tea milk in the plate and place the toast right on top. Finish the dish by sprinkling more matcha powder on top and get ready for some homemade awesome.
So that’s all there is to our Matcha Green Tea Toast. Special thanks to Anthony Myint of Mission Street Food for writing such an incredible and inspiring book. So take this recipe with you, make it yours and have fun in the kitchen, which brings me to my question of the day: What are you cooking up for your special someone on Valentines Day?
