About the recipe
Macerated blackberries create a beautiful natural syrup that’s both sweet and tart. They go really well with this super-crispy French toast, yoghurt and a little drizzle of honey for extra sweetness!
Ingredients
1 large free-range egg
75ml milk
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 pinch of ground cinnamon
2 slices of good-quality bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 teaspoons light brown sugar
Greek yoghurt, to serve
½ a batch of macerated blackberries
runny honey, to serve
Method
- Crack the egg into a large, shallow bowl. Add the milk, vanilla bean paste and cinnamon, and beat with a fork to fully combine.
- Place the slices of bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides, then set aside for a couple of minutes to absorb.
- Melt the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Sprinkle the bread slices with half the sugar and place in the pan, sugar side down. Sprinkle the top with the remaining sugar and cook for 4 minutes, or until golden brown, turning halfway through.
- Transfer the slices to plates, top with yoghurt and macerated blackberries, and drizzle with honey to serve.
