Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Bind the custard and set the bread into a tender, creamy coating as it cooks.
Bread
Forms the structure that soaks up the egg mixture and crisps when browned.
Ricotta cheese
Adds a creamy, mild filling that keeps the sandwich moist inside.
Nectarines
Provide juicy fruit and bright sweetness that softens slightly during cooking.
Milk
Thins the egg mixture so it soaks evenly into the bread.

The step that matters

Dip the sandwiches and cook over medium heat. Bread soaked in egg browns quickly, so medium heat lets the custard set through before the outside darkens. Too much heat leaves the centre wet or the crust burnt.
