Yum : French Toast

This recipe is one of my all time favourites, especially when you have time on the weekend to savour the delicious flavours.

French Toast

• 3 eggs
• ¼ cup (60ml) milk
• ⅓ cup (75g) caster sugar
• ¼ cup (60ml) pouring cream
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon lemon rind – finely grated
• 20g butter
• 8 slices baguette
• Maple syrup – to serve

Method

• Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cream, cinnamon and lemon rind
• Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the butter and heat until melted and just starting to bubble
• Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and cook, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until golden
• Serve with the maple syrup
• Serves 4

I actually use crusty sourdough bread and serve bananas and bacon with the French Toast – the traditional Canadian way.  Enjoy.
