French Toast

Ingredients

1 Bakers Delight Sourdough Loaf (1-3 days old)
4 eggs
¾ cup milk of choice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch of salt

Sourdough French Toast:

STEP 1

Slice the Bakers Delight sourdough into 2cm thick slices and place in a single layer in a large baking dish.

STEP 2

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.

STEP 3

Pour the mixture over the bread slices, letting them soak for 5 minutes on each side.

STEP 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick pan. Once the butter is melted, place ¼ of the soaked bread in the pan (you’ll need to do around 4 batches, so patience is key!).

Cook until golden brown on both sides.

STEP 5

Transfer onto a lined baking tray and place in the oven to keep toasty while you cook the remaining bread.

Top with ricotta, roasted walnuts and strawberries.

Drizzle with the remaining syrup from the roasting pan, trust us – this is delicious!
