Fruity French toast with strawberries

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 2 eggs
• 80ml (1/3 cup) milk
• Melted butter, to grease
• 4 slices raisin bread
• 125ml (1/2 cup) thickened cream
• 1 tbs icing sugar mixture
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 x 250g punnet strawberries, washed
• Espresso coffee, to serve

• Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Use a fork to whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush with melted butter to lightly grease. Dip 1 slice of bread into the egg mixture to evenly coat. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a baking tray. Place in oven to keep warm. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining bread and egg mixture, greasing and reheating pan between batches.
  3. Meanwhile: use a balloon whisk to whisk the cream, icing sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.
  4. Cut toast in half crossways and divide among plates. Top with cinnamon cream and strawberries, and serve with espresso.
