Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 6 Slices of white bread cut at 4cm thick
- 5 Eggs
- 1 ½ cups Full cream milk
- ¼ cup White sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ tablespoon Cinnamon
- 50 g Butter
- Olive oil
- Maple syrup
- Strawberries sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla bean paste and cinnamon powder until all ingredients are well combined.
- Place the slices of bread into a deep dish tray. The more snug they are the better. Pour the mixture all over the bread and leave to sit for a minimum of 2 hours or ideally overnight. The bread will soak up all of the liquid.
- In a fry pan on a medium/high heat, melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil. When the butter starts to foam, place a piece of bread into the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and repeat this step with the remainder of the bread.
- Drizzle maple syrup all over and finish off with a sprinkling of fresh fruit.
