French Toast

I'd a loaf of homemade bread from the day before, and we thought of having this for breakfast when we were walking Cajun in the park on a Sunday morning. It's easy to put together, and great with a cup of latte. I found that doubling the recipe gave the bread a little more to soak in, but there was still some leftover after 6 or 7 slices, so be sure you've got hungry people at the table!

Mix together 25ml cream, 2 eggs and 45g caster sugar. Dip 6 slices bread (either fresh or day-old bread is suitable), on at a time, into the milk and egg mixture ensuring both sides are soaked.

Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan. Remove the bread from the mixture, drain off the excess liquid and cook on both sides until golden brown and cooked through.
