warningStay safe

When shallow frying, the oil is hot and deep. Handle and flip the sandwich gently to prevent hot oil splatters. Beware of hot oil splatters; use kitchen tongs to maintain a safe distance.

Pour 100ml cooking oil into a pan over medium-low heat. Add the French toast and fry for 1-2 mins until bottom turns golden brown, then flip; use tongs to stand it upright and sear all 4 side edges until all 6 sides are golden and crispy, then remove from pan.
