※ French toast with crispy bacon

INGREDIENTS

• Olive oil
• 2 bacon rashers
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tbs milk
• 2 tbs caster sugar (I added a pinch of cinnamon to mine)
• 1 tbs butter
• 2 thick slices white sourdough bread
• Maple syrup, to serve
• Few drops of vanilla extract

METHOD

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook bacon for 1-2 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden.

Whisk eggs, milk and sugar & vanilla extract in a shallow dish. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add half the butter and 1 tbs oil.

Dip bread, 1 slice at a time, into egg mixture and turn to coat. Allow excess to drain. Cook for 3 minutes each side or until golden, adding remaining butter and oil as required.

Arrange the toast on a serving plate top with the bacon and drizzle with maple syrup to serve.
