Usually on a Saturday morning I have some French baguettes leftover from making school lunches the previous day. Rather than let them go to waste, I decided to make these french toasts for brunch or as the kiddos might like to call it "eggy bread" ! It is actually best made with day old bread rather than a fresh loaf...
Ingredients...
1 thinly sliced french baguette.
2 eggs
2 tbsp of sugar
250ml of milk
Method...
Place eggs and sugar in a shallow bowl and whisk together. Add the milk and continue to whisk until blended. Place your bread slices in the bowl and let them soak up the mixture.
Heat some butter in a frying pan and fry the slices of bread for two minutes on each side until golden in colour. Serve on a plate garnished with seasonal fruit and a light dusting of icing sugar.
Hope you all have a lovely November Saturday!!
A warm breakfast for the kids - how lucky for them. You have a nice November Saturday also! I'm doing grocery shopping, house cleaning and laundry. Maybe squeeze a long walk in too!

ReplyDeleteLove eggy bread, just love it. How do you keep baguettes fresh for lunches during the week? Do you freeze it?
ReplyDeleteI always have a few in the freezer or we buy the part baked ones that you bake for 10 mins in the oven on the day you need them:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious looking brunch! I have never thought of using a baguette for french toast I definitely need to give this a try! xo
