French toast
Serves 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
150ml maple syrup
12 slices of streaky bacon
3 eggs
120ml double cream
80ml milk
1tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
20g sugar
4 slices of fresh bread - we like pecan or walnut
Method
Turn the oven on to 180c.
Put the bacon rashers into a non-stick frying pan and cook for a couple of minutes each side until golden. Put into an oven dish and drizzle over a couple of tbsps of maple syrup. Put a second dish into the oven for the bread when cooked.
In a dish that will snugly sit 2 slices of the bread, mix the eggs and then add the cream, milk, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon and mix. Put 2 slices of the bread into the eggy mixture for roughly a minute each side.
Turn off your oven.
In a large non-stick frying pan on a medium high heat, melt a tsp of butter with a tsp of oil. When the butter has melted add 2 slices of the bread and cook each side until golden - this will take around 5 minutes per side.
When cooked, put into the oven and repeat with the other slices.
Top the bread with the sticky bacon. Add a generous drizzle of of maple syrup and a small knob of butter.
