French Toast with Crispy Bacon
20 mins
Ingredients
- 1 medium egg
- 2 egg whites
- 60ml skimmed milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 2 slices wholemeal bread
- 2 rashers lean smoked back bacon
- ½ tsp olive oil
- 20g maple syrup
Method
Preheat the grill to high. Whisk the egg, egg whites, milk, salt and cinnamon together in a large, wide bowl until smooth then add the bread. Gently push down to soak in the mixture then set aside for 5 minutes, flipping over halfway through.
Meanwhile slide the bacon under the grill and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until crisp.
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the soaked bread and fry for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer to a plate, top with the bacon and drizzle over the maple syrup to serve.
Tips
This recipe works best if the bread is a little dry, so leave it out overnight on a wire rack or a plate.
