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.

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.
