Ingredients

8 x 2 cm thick slices of good quality, 1-2 day old white bread, such as pana di casa or sourdough

2 eggs

1/2 cup(125 ml) milk

2 tspcaster sugar

1 tsppure vanilla extract

1/2 tspground cinnamon

75 gunsalted butter

Strawberry yoghurt

250 gpunnet Driscoll's strawberries, hulled

2 tspcaster sugar

1/2 tsppure vanilla extract

1 cup(250 g) natural yoghurt

Method

  1. Strawberry yoghurt

    Place the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and set over low heat and bring to the simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until sugar dissolves and strawberries soften. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, mix strawberries through the yoghurt. Transfer into a serving bowl and refrigerate until required.

  2. French toast

    Cut the bread slices into 2 cm thick sticks and remove the crusts. Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.

  3. Cooking

    Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat. Melt half of the butter in the pan. Dip the bread sticks into the egg mixture for a few seconds, to soak up some of the egg mixture, don’t soak them or they will go soggy. Place directly into the pre-heated pan and cook in batches for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer onto a large plate and dust generously with icing sugar.

  4. Serving

    Serve French toast sticks with strawberry yoghurt for dipping.
