Sweet eggy bread

SERVES 4

Sweet, comforting and completely delicious, one taste of this brings me back to my childhood in an instant.

2 large eggs

4 tbsp regular or double cream

1–2 tbsp caster sugar, to taste

1 tsp vanilla extract or ½ tsp ground cinnamon

a little pinch of sea salt

50g (2oz) butter

4 large slices of white, wholemeal or sourdough bread

To serve

maple syrup, crispy bacon slices or icing sugar

1. In a bowl large enough to dip slices of bread into, whisk the eggs, cream, sugar and vanilla extract or cinnamon powder together with a pinch of salt.

2. Melt a knob of the butter in a frying pan over a medium-high heat until foaming. Dip both sides of a slice of bread into the egg mixture and then fry on both sides, adding more butter as needed, until golden. Keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining bread.

3. Repeat until all the slices of bread are fried. Serve drizzled with maple syrup and slices of crispy bacon or dusted with icing sugar.
