French toast

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 80ml whole milk
• 40ml double cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 4 thick slices brioche
• Icing sugar, to serve

Instructions

1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Lay the brioche slices in a single layer in a shallow dish and pour the egg mixture over them. Allow to soak for 2-3 minutes, then carefully turn over and soak for 2 minutes more.
2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until foaming. Carefully lift 2 slices of the soaked brioche into the pan. Fry for 3 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp, then place on a wire rack over a baking tray in a warm oven while you repeat with the remaining slices.
