Hot Cross Bun French Toast

 Use up those slightly stale hot cross buns this Easter & transform them into an indulgent brekkie This is so delicious, I'd recommend making it whether they're stale or not! 

Ingredients - serves two

1 egg

80ml whole milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

2 x hot cross buns (fresh or a little stale)

Butter, for frying

Bacon & Maple syrup to serve 

Method

Whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a shallow dish until combined. Slice the hot cross buns in half and place into the mixture. Let soak for 3-4 minutes (depending on how stale your buns are) before flipping over and soaking the other side. 

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add in a generous knob of butter. Once sizzling, place the soaked hot cross buns into the pan & cook for 5 minutes until golden. Flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes or until cooked through.

Serve warm with crispy bacon & maple syrup. Enjoy!
