HERE'S a richer version of the usual French toast to make when you're in a slightly indulgent mood. More of fresh cream than plain milk while lemon zest adds a refreshing, citrus note. These were shallow-fried, but methinks that since they're coated with breadcrumbs, a quick dip in hot fat in a deep fryer might make them nice and crispy on the outside and keep them soft inside.
What you need:
8 slices of day-old bread
200 gms fresh cream
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
Zest of one lemon
Fresh breadcrumbs
Butter to shallow fry
Whisk the cream, milk, eggs, sugar, essence and lemon zest till smooth and creamy. Heat some butter in a non-stick, shallow frying pan. Dip a slice of bread on both sides in the creamy mixture, coat with breadcrumbs on either side and fry till golden on both sides.
Serve warm with waffle or maple syrup or honey. Enjoy!
