Cinnamon French Toast

Cinnamon French toast is a classic of the sweet American breakfast: bread soaked in an egg-and-milk bath, fried golden in butter.

1. In a shallow dish beat the eggs smooth and frothy with the milk, the sugar and the cinnamon.

2. Lay the bread slices one by one into the mixture and soak both sides for about 20 seconds each.

3. Let them drip a little – the bread should soak itself full, but not fall apart.

4. In a pan melt a little butter over a medium heat, until it lightly foams.

5. Fry the slices golden for 2-3 minutes per side, topping up the butter for each batch.

6. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with fresh blueberries.

Tip: This is the SWEET, cinnamon American version – not to be confused with the savoury Hungarian fried bread. It is best with slightly dry, day-old bread, as that stands up to the soaking better.
