French toast

Silky, sweet and swimming in syrup - French toast is the ideal breakfast when you have a little extra time.

Tender and sweet French toast makes for a quick and easy yet decadent weekend breakfast. For best results use real maple syrup, and if you like, serve it topped with fresh blueberries.

French toast, sometimes known as eggy bread, is a simple yet indulgent breakfast that is so easy to make. Soaking bread in an egg and milk mixture then frying until golden to create a crunchy exterior with a silky custard-like centre. We think it’s best enjoyed drowned in sweet maple syrup, but also works with berries, bananas and other toppings as well as working with savoury flavours if you’re not a fan of sweet breakfasts.
