French Toast

1. 4 eggs
2. 250 ml milk
3. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4. 2 tablespoons caster sugar
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
6. 150 g butter
7. 4 slices of sourdough bread or thickly sliced white bread (french bread stick and Turkish bread will also work)

• Place the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl and whisk.
• Heat a frying pan or the flat plate of a barbecue (on lowest setting) and melt the butter. soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture until wet through.
• Place the soaked bread in the pan or on the flat plate and cook until golden brown. turn and cook the other side. It is important to cook on a low–medium setting so the egg mixture cooks and sets, rather than cooking on a higher heat which will burn the outside and leave the inside soggy.
• Once cooked, transfer to a plate and serve with your choice of toppings—bacon, maple syrup, honeycomb butter, fresh berries, ice-cream or lemon and sugar or simply eat it on its own.
