Ohhhh yummmmm...

I'm similar to DB, but less precise...chuck some eggs and a little milk (I always add too much, I have to remember to use less milk than I do with my scrambled eggs, which evaporate a bit), and then I fry and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

I've not made the savoury ones before, but I reckon dh wouldn't mind a bit of egg and bacon action on father's day.

Nigella's Doughnut french toast with raspberry sauce is great...

Yeah, bring on the savoury-french-toast-people!

My preference is for plain (egg + milk mix) french toast and served with salt. mmmm Never understood the sweet thing.

Yield
2 servings

Ingredients
2 eggs
1/2 cup full fat milk

4 slices from a small white loaf or 2 slices from a large white loaf, each large slice cut in half
1-ounce butter, plus a drop flavourless oil, for frying
1/4 cup sugar

Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a wide shallow bowl.

Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture for 5 minutes a side.

Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan/skillet, fry the egg-soaked bread until golden and scorched in parts on both sides.

Put the sugar onto a plate and then dredge the cooked bread until coated like a sugared doughnut.

Chocolate-filled French toast
Recipe by Bill Granger from BILL'S HOLIDAY


3 eggs
185 ml (6 fl oz/3/4 cup) milk
1 tablespoon caster (superfine) sugar
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 slices white bread
100 g (31/2 oz) milk or dark chocolate, chopped
To Serve
Icing (Confectioner’s) sugar

Whisk together the eggs, milk, caster sugar and salt in a flat dish. Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Dip two slices of the bread into the egg mixture, turning them over until they are completely coated. Put them in the frying pan and sprinkle each one with a quarter of the chopped
chocolate. Soak another two slices of bread in the egg mixture and put on top of the chocolate bread in the pan to make sandwiches. Press lightly with a spatula to seal the edges.
Cook for 3 minutes each side or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and serve immediately or keep warm while you make the other two sandwiches. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
