French Toast

I’m usually more of a savoury brunch gal, but sometimes I just crave something nice and sweet on the weekends. My go-to is French Toast as we always have some bread in the house and frozen berries in the freezer. Sometimes I’ll make this savoury by leaving out the berries & yoghurt and serving this with crispy bacon instead. A lovely weekend treat and super easy to make!

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 4 slices of wholegrain bread (I use the multi-seed cob from Lidl)

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1/2 tsp sugar (I use vanilla sugar, but this is not essential)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla paste (or extract)

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 100ml low fat milk (plant based milk tastes great too, adds a nutty flavour)

• handful of fresh / frozen berries (I like raspberry & blueberry)

• 2 tsp maple syrup (or honey)

• 1 tbsp greek yoghurt

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Method

1. Slice your bread.

2. Mix together your eggs, milk, salt, vanilla, sugar & cinnamon until combined.

3. Melt your butter on a large non stick pan.

4. Soak your bread in the egg mix and cover both sides.

5. Place on the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, or until golden and firm (The bread should not be soggy).

6. Plate up and serve immediately with desired toppings. I used defrosted berries, a dollop of greek yoghurt and a tsp of maple syrup on mine.
