Arme Ritter (French Toast)

“Arme Ritter” (French toast) is a typical and extremely popular dish from Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). It’s the perfect snack for hungry tummies as it’s so easy to whip up. All you need to do is soak some slices of stale bread in milk and fry them in a pan with some egg, making sure the bread is coated with it. We recommend serving the toast up with sweet fruit.
