French Toast Fingers

French toast reminds me of my childhood and was definitely a breakfast that didn't last long in my home. French toast is called 'pain perdu' in French, which translates to 'lost bread'. The reason for this is because French people used to use stale bread in order to use up bread that would have otherwise gone to waste.

French toast can be a great breakfast choice the morning before a match as carbs are king in this instance.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

4 slices bread

1 egg

60ml milk

10g caster sugar

butter

Filling:

you choose: banana, speculaas spread and chocolate is a fav here at The Sports Chef HQ.

Method:

1). In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and sugar together.

2). Heat some butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.

3). Coat two slices of bread in this eggy-mixture and place in the pan. Cook on both sides and then add the filling of your choice (1 banana and speculaas spread was our winner) to one side of the cooked bread. Sandwich the other piece of eggy bread on top.

4). Repeat with the other two slices of bread.

5). Then cut into fingers, sprinkle with icing sugar and demolish!

6). Don't forget to enjoy!
