Instructions
-
In a wide dish, whisk the egg, milk and vanilla together.
-
Coat one side of the bread slices in the liquid, then carefully flip them over and leave them to soak for 1-2 mins.
-
If the bread isn’t very fresh you can leave for a few mins more. You want the eggy milk mixture to be absorbed into the bread but not so much that it falls apart.
-
Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and add two slices of the soaked bread.
-
Cook for 5 mins or until golden, then turn to cook the other side for another 5 mins.
-
Transfer to a plate and cook the other two slices in the rest of the butter.
-
Cut the bread on the diagonal and divide between 2 plates, then add your toppings if needed.
-
You can even turn it into dessert with the addition of crème fraiche or ice cream.
