French toast

By: Rachel Allen From: Rachel Allen's Everyday Kitchen

Method

1.

For the cinnamon mascarpone: In a bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, maple syrup and ground cinnamon until well combined. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge while you make the French toast. 2. For the French toast: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with the cream, cinnamon, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Make sure the egg is completely whisked so you don’t have any separate yolks or white. 3. Set a frying pan over a medium heat and add half the butter. When the butter has melted and is foaming, swirl it around the pan then dip two slices of bread in the egg mixture, making sure each piece is completely covered, then carefully place them in the frying pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Place on separate plates, then melt the remaining butter, dip the last two slices of bread in the egg mixture and fry in the same way. 4. Dust the French toast with icing sugar, drizzle with plenty of maple syrup and serve with the cinnamon mascarpone and perhaps some sliced apple or banana.
