French Toast
French toast/ eggy bread is a delicious alternative to eggs on toast/ pancakes. One of the earliest versions of French toast has been traced back to the Roman Empire. The name “French toast" was first used in 17th-century England. It’s easy to prepare and can be topped with sweet or savoury toppings. This recipe is for a sweet version.
Ingredients​

¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (or essence)
-
Butter for cooking
​​

​
​
What do we need?
​
-
Sharp Knife
-
Chopping board
-
Pancake pan or frying pan
-
Mixing Bowls
-
Fork
-
Spatula
What do we do?
-
Crack the eggs into two separate bowls.
-
Use your fork to mix up the egg. You need the yolk to break and be mixed in with the white of the egg
-
Add a little cinnamon to one bowl and mix again
-
Add the vanilla to the other bowl and mix again
-
Cut each slice of bread into four quarters
-
Put your frying/ pancake pan on the stove on a medium heat
-
Take one piece of bread to the bowl with cinnamon egg. You need to make sure the egg covers both sides.
-
Add a little butter to the frying pan and add the piece of egg covered bread – you can cook up to two at a time
-
You need to cook the bread for 1 minute on each side (As the frying pan gets hotter it will cook quicker)
-
Once it is done move the cooked French toast to a plate
-
Repeat steps 6 – 10 for all of the pieces of bread in the cinnamon egg and then repeat the steps for the rest of the bread into the vanilla egg
-
Wash and remove the green top from the strawberries and slice them thinly
-
Peel the banana and slice thinly
-
Take a slice of cooked French toast and add your toppings of choice, drizzle with honey and eat

​
Be careful - don't let the bread sit in the egg mixture for too long.
