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

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Set into a custard that coats the bread and firms up when cooked.
Milk
Thins the egg mixture so it soaks into the bread and keeps the crumb moist.
Cinnamon bread
Acts as the sandwich base, absorbing the egg mixture and browning in the pan.
Apricot jam
Adds sweetness and fruity acidity inside the sandwich.
Butter
Adds fat to the skillet that promotes even browning and a golden crust.

The step that matters

Dip sandwiches into the egg mixture, turning once until all moisture is absorbed by the bread.. If the sandwiches are soaked too briefly, the centre stays dry; if soaked too long, the bread turns soggy and may fall apart in the pan. Even absorption gives a moist interior that cooks through.

Swap the apricot
