Make your friends, family, or special someone say “ooo la la” with a plate of lovingly prepared french toast. This recipe is easy peasy to make and provides a fab vessel for everyone's preferred topping taste. With exams rapidly approaching, we are all in need of some special treatment. Go ahead and make this for those who deserve a bitta love <3 (including you, you got this xxx)

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (you can use any milk type of milk here, including dairy free)
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla essence 
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp white sugar 
  • 8-10 slices of bread (something thick-ish and plain like wholemeal or white bread works best)
  • Butter to fry

Topping Suggestions 

  • Berries 
  • Banana
  • Maple syrup 
  • Peanut butter
  • Nutella
  • Butter
  • Icing sugar
  • Bacon

Method

  1. Place a large pan over medium heat and bring it up to temperature.
  2. While the pan is heating, add the eggs, milk, vanilla essence, cinnamon, and sugar into a large bowl/dish and mix until combined (something large enough to dip the bread into)
  3. Once combined, place a piece of your bread into the egg-milk mixture. You want to get the bread soaked in the mixture on both sides. Give it a quick soak (approx. 4-5 seconds) and flip it over to repeat. 
  4. Place a knob of butter into the hot pan.
  5. Once the butter has melted, add the soaked bread and cook for approx. 7 mins until the bread is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side.
  6. Add some more butter to the pan if it is looking a bit dry. Continue the soak and cook process until you have used up all the bread/egg-milk mixture. Depending on the size of your pan you can have a couple pieces of bread cooking at once.

Serve warm with toppings of your choice! I have listed a few suggestions, but feel free to get creative and use whatever you like. Enjoy x
