Feeling like something sweet?? You must try this...its sooo yummy!!


HOMESTYLE FRENCH TOAST WITH SMASHED PEACHES

Please note the picture shows apples not peaches as i didnt have any peaches! :)

Serves 1-2

1 Slice of good quality thick wholegrain bread cut in half

1 ripe peach

1 organic free range egg

Sprinkle of Cinnamon

2 tbs of organic milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp Unsalted Butter & rice bran oil for frying

Honey, to serve (manuka preferred)

LSA, to serve

Yoghurt, to serve

Use a really good quality thick homestyle bread for this recipe, I use spelt bread for this recipe. It’s best the bread is slightly stale as it will absorb more of the liquid, if its fresh, use it frozen to help it hold its shape.

Whisk the egg, cinnamon, milk and vanilla in a shallow dish or plate till combined. Place the bread into the egg mixture until mixture is fully absorbed and bread is coated on both sides.

Into lightly simmering water drop the peach – skin and all, and lightly simmer for 10 minutes. Do not over cook the peach or it will be too mushy.

In a fry pan add the unsalted butter and rice bran oil – this stops the butter from burning. Cook the toast on both sides on a low flame for 5 minutes on each side. Make sure it’s cooked all the way through or it will be soggy.

Take the peach out of the simmering water and run under cool water, this stops the cooking process and makes it easier to handle. Cut into halves and remove the pip and skin (if desired).

To serve: Spread the French toast with butter, place a peach half on top and lightly smash it with a fork, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with LSA and dollop with thick yoghurt.

Enjoy!
