In my books French toast is one of the best Saturday breakfast dishes ever! When you can wake up just a little bit later and you actually have time to prepare something that is not cereal or an apple on the go. No, Saturday morning after a whole week of working hard you can reward yourself with a decent breakfast because you deserve it! So set your table or tray (for those who don’t mind honey and crumbs in bed;) and start cracking some eggs!

French toast is day old bread that has been dipped in an egg and cream or milk mixture and fried on both sides in a pan. This dish can be enjoyed with sweet or savoury toppings.

  

8 Eggs

50 ml Cream / Full cream milk

pinch of Salt

about 400 g Ciabatta loaf

2 tbsp Sunflower oil

4 Bananas

about 4 tbsp Honey (more if you want to!)

½ tsp ground Cinnamon

1. 
   
2. Whisk the eggs, cream and salt together. Slice ciabatta into 2 cm thick slices. Pour the egg mixture into a small bowl and dip the bread slices into the egg mixture for about a minute on each side.
   
3. Heat a pan on medium heat with sunflower oil. Fry the soaked bread until golden brown on both sides.
   
4. Slice the bananas and arrange it on top of the French toast. Drizzle with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

• For a reduced fat alternative, cream may be substituted with skim milk and sunflower oil with cooking spray.
  
• The strong structure of the ciabatta bread absorbs and holds on to the egg quite well but any other white bread can be used instead.
  
• Older bread works better than fresh bread as it soaks up more of egg mixture without breaking.
  
• For extra protein and energy spread peanut butter onto the French toast after frying.
  
• The addition of crispy bacon creates a sensory feast for meat eaters.
