White Chocolate and Summer Fruits French Toast

As the saying goes; breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And so, a post on the ever so sinful breakfast dish; French Toast.


This is my version of a good start to a day and hopefully, yours too!


White Chocolate and Summer Fruits French Toast 
(Serves 3)
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread*
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cups milk
- juice of half an orange
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- butter (to fry)


- 100g white chocolate, melted
- fruits (I used peaches, strawberries and blueberries)
- icing sugar, if desired


Steps
1. Whisk eggs, milk, juice, zest, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a shallow dish.
2. Place skillet over low-medium heat and melt butter.
3. Dip one slice of bread in egg mixture and allow to soak (5 seconds for thin bread, 20 seconds for thick bread).
4. Fry on both sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on each side).


*Use a bread that is firm (e.g. brioche) to spread the white chocolate more easily.




Enjoy !
