This viral TikTok milk toast is a simple and nostalgic breakfast or snack recipe featuring buttery toasted bread soaked in milk and lightly sweetened with sugar and condensed milk, resulting in a sweet, custard-like treat that melts in your mouth.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 slices thick bread (egg bread or white bread)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp milk (any milk you prefer)
  • 1 tbsp condensed milk (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Spread butter evenly on both slices of thick bread to ensure a rich buttery flavor and prevent sticking.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, which allows the bread to toast gently without burning.
  3. Cook First Slice: Place one slice of buttered bread onto the heated pan. Immediately sprinkle white sugar evenly on top for a subtle caramelization effect.
  4. Make the Sandwich: Place the second buttered bread slice on top of the sugar-coated bread to form a sandwich.
  5. Add Milk: Pour 1 tablespoon of milk directly over the sandwich and 1 tablespoon into the pan beside it to help the bread soak up the milk and develop a custard-like texture.
  6. Soak and Move: Using a spatula, gently move the bread around in the pan so it soaks up the milk evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
  7. Flip and Brown: Once the milk is absorbed and the bottom slice turns golden brown, carefully flip the sandwich to toast the other side.
  8. Repeat Milk Soak: Repeat pouring milk and moving the bread around to soak the other side until it is also golden brown and custard-like.
  9. Cut and Garnish: Transfer the milk toast to a cutting board and slice it into 3 by 3 squares. Drizzle generously with condensed milk for a creamy, sweet finish.
  10. Serve: Use a toothpick or fork to enjoy this warm, sweet milk toast treat.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread like egg bread for the best custardy texture.
  • Adjust the milk quantity to control how moist and soft the toast becomes.
  • Cooking on medium-low heat helps prevent burning while allowing the milk to soak in properly.
  • You can substitute condensed milk with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness; salted butter could make the toast slightly salty.
