How to make

  1. Prepare. Remove the seeds and guts of Japanese squash. Cut the baguette to a thickness of 2-inch.
  2. 1. Peel the skin of Japanese squash and slice to about 0.4-inch thinness. Place the squash into a heat-resistant bowl, cover with plastic wrap, microwave for 3 minutes at 600W until cooked through, and mash to form a paste.
  3. 2. When Step 1 has cooled, add ingredient (A), mix well, and replace it with a tray.
  4. 3. Soak the baguette in Step 2 and let it soak in thoroughly for 20~30 minutes while flipping sometimes.
  5. 4. Heat butter in a pan over low heat, then place Step 3 and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  6. 5. Transfer to a plate, drizzle honey to your taste to enjoy.

Tips for cooking

When using honey as a topping, please be careful not to allow children under the age of Step 1 (infants and toddlers) to consume it. You can substitute white bread for a baguette. It is still delicious to substitute milk for soy milk. When soaking bread in Step 3, it is possible to shorten the time, but it is nicer to soak it thoroughly. For toppings, please enjoy what you like, such as butter, maple syrup, whipping cream (heavy cream), etc.
