French toast with caramelised apples
Chef:
Angela Hartnett
This is perfect as a breakfast dish or a dessert and particularly good served with a dollop of crème fraîche.
50ml double cream
2 eggs
25g sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
100g butter
4 slices of brioche
Fresh strawberries or blueberries, for serving
For the caramelised apples
50g butter
3 Braeburn apples, peeled, cored and quartered
50g caster sugar
First prepare the apples. Melt the butter in a pan and heat until it is bubbling. Add the apples and stir until they start to colour. Add the sugar and continue to stir until the apples caramelise. If the mixture gets too thick, add a little water to loosen the caramel and cook for another 5 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, sugar and cinnamon. Heat the butter in a frying pan. Dip the slices of brioche in the cream and egg mixture until it is well coated, then remove and let any excess drip off.
Fry the soaked brioche in the butter until golden on both sides. Serve with the caramelised apples.
