Nutty French Toast

Spoil dad with a special Father’s Day breakfast in bed.

INGREDIENTS

White Bread unsliced

Hazelnuts 50g
Eggs 2 large
Milk 1 tablespoon
Salt pinch

Butter 1 tablespoon

Biltong for serving
Hazelnuts for serving
Cashew Nuts for serving
Castor Sugar for serving
Cinnamon for serving
Honey for serving
Strawberries for serving
Cream for serving

METHOD

Cut three 2cm thick slices from the white bread, remove the crusts and cut into 2cm wide strips.

Blitz the hazelnuts until fine, being careful not to overdo it as you don’t want to end up with hazelnut butter. Place in a bowl with the eggs, milk and salt and mix with a fork until well combined.

Add the butter into a non-stick frying pan on a medium to high heat. Dip the bread strips into the egg mix and coat each side, gently shake off any excess egg, and place in the hot frying pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden then remove and place on a sheet of paper towel to absorb any excess butter.

Sprinkle with castor sugar and cinnamon and enjoy with biltong, hazelnuts, cashew nuts, honey, whipped cream, and strawberries.
