Mummy's Treat Breakfast

Mummy's Treat Breakfast ('Healthy' French Toast)

Background Story: So I know I usually do dinners on this blog and it's usually for the family, but on this beautiful saturday morning hubby was in bed (cause it's his turn to sleep in) and I was up with the little one and I felt like a nice brekky. Everyone deserves a little treat every now and then so this is one for you to all cook for YOURSELF. 

I say 'healthy' french toast, cause I have tried to replace most of the naughty ingredients with less naughty ones so it ends ip being better than the ones you'd get at a restaurant or cafe.

Time taken?: About 10 minutes

2 year old friendly?: Who cares! This is all mine! He has eaten this before, but i have found he prefers his toast the regular way so I made his brekky first (1 piece of wholemeal toast with peanut butter and chopped up fresh strawberries with a glass of milk), and while he was busy eating I got to work.

WHAT YOU NEED
2 pieces of 'Pane Di Casa', or any dense bread, preferably a few days old (we buy Pane Di Casa and keep it in the freezer). NOTE: I have done this with regular sliced bread but not with while cause it's too soft- wholemeal is better and thick cut not thin.
2 eggs
A splash of skim milk (sorry, i never mesure for this recipe!)
About 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
About 1 teaspoon Splendor granules (or castor sugar if you don't have it)
About 1/2 tablespoons of Nutelex (or low fat margarine or spread)
Fresh strawberries (or bannana works well too)
Golden Syrup (honey or maple syrup would also work)

METHOD
Crack eggs into a medium shallow bowl with the skim milk and beat lightly with a fork.
Add the splendor and cinamon and beat again just to combine
Soak the bread in the egg mixture (both sides) for a few minutes
Heat the Nutelex in a medium frypan and then when almost melted, add the bread.
Cook until starting to get a golden brown crust on the bottom and then turn and do the same for the other side.
Once golden brown, remove to a plate and top with a drizzle of golden syrup and chopped fresh strawberries.

Serve to yourself with a nice cuppa and have a lovely saturday morning!
