Lemony French Toast with Blueberries

10 May 2018

A lovely lemony breakfast treat for mum.

If you want this to be a really big naughty treat, serve the French toast with syrup, lemon curd and creme anglaise

Honey Lemon syrup

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 cup honey

1/4 cup water

put everything in a small saucepan and bring to the boil.

Boil over a medium heat until the liquid has reduced by half.

French Toast

1 brioche or white loaf of bread

4 eggs

2 cups milk

2-4 tbs butter

lemon syrup

1-2 punnets of blueberries

honey lemon syrup

Cut 8  thick slices of brioche or white bread

Whisk the eggs and milk together.

Heat a little of the butter in a nonstick saucepan.

Dunk 2 slices of bread into the eggy mix and let them sit for a minute, before turning the bread over, so it soaks up lots of the liquid.

Cook the bread over the gently sizzling butter for 3-4 minutes on either side.

To serve, place 2 slices of french toast on a plate, pour over a generous amount of honey lemon syrup and a good scattering of blueberries.

The blueberries can also be tossed in the hot syrup to serve.

You could serve the French Toast with plain greek yoghurt, cream, or ricotta.
