This is a Nigella Lawson classic and is great on a lazy Sunday morning with a cup of hot coffee or tea. It fills the house with vanilla and cinnamon smells..enough to raise anyone from the depths of a lie in!
For 2 servings you will need:
4 slices of bread lightly toasted
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract/essence
2 teaspoons of cinnamon or mixed spice (this isn't in the original Nigella recipe but I love the taste of cinnamon so I just had to add it!)
Approx 2 tablespoons of milk.
Caster sugar
knob of butter
Mix the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and milk in a bowl until fully incorporated then transfer to a shallow dish or plate.
Lightly toast the bread and place in the mixture to soak up the liquid, turn them over after a few mins to make sure both sides are coated.
Pour a generous amount of caster sugar on a large clean plate.
Put a knob of butter in a hot pan and swirl around.
Place the soaked toast in the pan and fry until slightly charred and golden on both sides.
Using a fish slice transfer the toast from the pan to the sugar and thoroughly coat each slice.
Serve with a hot brew and enjoy!
