🥪 Ingredients for Creamy Toast Sandwich (2 servings)
Yam Small Toast 4 slices
blueberry jam 4 tablespoons or strawberry jam/meat loaf/grated mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
plain milk 150ml
butter 1 small piece (about 10g)
🍲 Ingredients for Skinny Egg Porridge

Pork Tenderloin 100g
baby greens 3 stalks
Seasoning: salt, white pepper, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cornstarch
🔥 Making Process
【Toast part】
1️⃣ Assemble the sandwich: cut the thick-cut toast horizontally (not cut off), spread jam or sprinkle grated cheese and then close it together
2️⃣ Egg Soak: Beat the egg + milk, completely immerse the sandwich toast in the egg mixture (for more even absorption)
3️⃣ Butter Frying: melt butter in a pan and fry over medium-low heat until golden brown on all six sides (about 3 minutes/side)
👉 variation suggestion: like crispy texture can extend the frying time, or sprinkle granulated sugar to make caramelized toast edge
【Congee portion】
1️⃣ Prep: diced pork + 1 tsp soy sauce + ½ tsp cornstarch to scratch marinade, peeled egg cut into flaps, chopped greens
2️⃣ Quick Cooking Tips: After boiling the bottom of the porridge, first put the diced pork to cook for 2 minutes, then put the peeled egg to cook for 1 minute, and finally add the greens to blanch them
3️⃣ Seasoning key: half a spoonful of sesame oil before turning off the fire, sprinkle white pepper to improve freshness
⏰ Time Management Tips
Preparation for the night before: washing and cutting meat and vegetables / booking porridge (rice cooker set 8 hours timer)
Morning flow: synchronize the toast processing while cooking porridge, the whole process is controlled within 15 minutes
🍽️ Pairing highlights
Nutritional combination: toast provides carbohydrates + proteins, porridge replenishes dietary fiber and water
Temperature balance: hot congee warms the stomach, fried toast is crispy, hot and cold are more palatable together
