Weekend breakfast/brunch is the highlight to the weekend in our house! We love to treat ourselves to something warm and sweet. This fits the bill perfectly, easy to make and well deserved after a long week!
You only need a few ingredients for this and once you've bought them they will become a staple in your kitchen. Vanilla extract is used in a lot of baking recipes, almonds are amazing and cinnamon just gives a lovely warm feeling from deep within 😊
How to make
To make your lovely Almond French toast, slice 4 thick slices of brioche bread, you can get this from any supermarket or bakery.
Whisk your eggs in a medium bowl and then add milk. Once combined, add sugar, baking powder, cinnamon. vanila extract and almond flakes . Mix together and set aside.
Now for the cooking process, you can either use a sandwich toaster - which is my prefered way. As this reduces mess, takes less time to cook as both sides are cooking at once! If that does not convince you enough, its less mess and you dont need to check on it as much! Given you have a good sandwich toaster, this is the way forward.
However, I have also cooked these on a cooker in a large pan. This works also and the larger the pan the more you can make as once. This could be ideal if you are only making a few and want a crispier effect.
Cooking appliance/method decided - switch on your sandwich toaster or heat a pan on medium heat. Grease with butter and start to dunk your bread slices one at a time and put in your appliance (pan). Make sure to sprinkle almond flakes on for extrat crisp and flavour! Fry for 2 mins on each side or till it is golden brown on both sides.
Serve on a warm plate with your fruit of choice and drizzle breakfast syrup to taste and enjoy!
