Golden custardy slices with cinnamon, vanilla and fresh fruit.
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices day-old bread
- 2 eggs
- 100 ml milk
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter
- Berries or sliced banana to serve
- Maple syrup, optional
Method
- Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a shallow dish.
- Dip each bread slice briefly on both sides; let excess drip off.
- Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each slice 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the egg mixture is cooked.
- Serve immediately with berries, banana and optional syrup.
Kitchen note: Sturdy, slightly stale bread gives the best texture.
