French Toast (Pain Perdu)

The bread and butter pudding recipe posted here makes perfect french toast-so if you find you have too much mixture left over, why not make some french toast for a perfect, easy breakfast treat!

Soak bread or brioche in the mixture.  Allow to soak at least 5 minutes each side. Wipe excess mixture off the bread on to the side of the dish.  Heat a frying pan, add some butter with a little oil (this will stop the butter burning).  On a medium heat fry the bread on both sides.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with maple syrup, creme chantilly, blueberries and a dusting of icing sugar
• Serve with maple syrup, fried egg and smoked rashers.
