We all love French toast but choosing what to top it with is always a struggle. Never fear! I have three delicious French toast variations, all decadently delicious and perfect for a weekend treat!

  • serves Serves 6
  • time 20 mins

Method

  1. 1. For the master recipe, in a large high sided baking dish, whisk together all the ingredients until combined. Heat a large frying pan or skillet over a medium high heat.
  2. 2. For the blueberry French toast: mix together 1 tablespoon of lemon curd with the yoghurt and set aside. Mash the banana until smooth and then roughly crush half the blueberries into the mixture. Spread these on one slice of brioche and sandwich together with a second slice. Dip this in the egg mix for 1 minute on either side. Fry in foaming butter for 3-4 minutes either side or until golden brown. Serve with a dollop of lemon curd yoghurt, extra blueberries and drizzle with the remaining lemon curd.
  3. 3. For the raspberry French toast: mix together the white chocolate and crème cheese until combined. Spread this mixture over one slice of brioche, dot with raspberries and sandwich together with a second. Dip this in the egg mixture for 1 minute on either side. Fry in foaming butter for 3-4 minutes either side or until golden brown. Top with extra raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar.
  4. 4. For the crème brulee French toast: dip two slices of brioche in the egg mixture and soak on both sides for 1 minute. Sprinkle the brown sugar generously over the side that isn’t soaking, press down slightly and then fry sugar side down in foaming butter until almost cooked through and a golden crust has formed. Flip and fry for 1 minute. Serve with strawberries and a dusting of icing sugar.
