Ingredients: 2 eggs (or egg whites); 100ml Milk; 1/2 a teaspoon cinnamon or vanilla powder (to taste); 4-6 slices (wholemeal) sandwich bread (optional to cut into triangles); Butter, to fry; Cooking oil, to fry; 4 tablespoons lemon curd or your favourite jam; 4 tablespoons flaked almonds; 4 tablespoons light brown sugar; Creme Fraiche, to serve

Servings: persons

1
Put the eggs (whites) into a wide, flat-bottomed bowl or plate and add the milk and cinnamon or vanilla powder. Whisk/mix till well combined
2
Put a pan to heat up on low-medium.Dip bread into egg mixture on both sides. If you like you french toast a bit dry, this recipe is good for 6 slices of bread and for 4 slices if you like it soft.
3
By now, the pan should be hot - add a little (about a teaspoon) butter and let it brown till it gives off a fantastic toffee aroma - please don't let it burn. Then add a little cooking oil(about a teaspoon).
4
Place the bread in and let brown on both sides, about 2/3 minutes each on low-medium heat, allowing it to cook well. When ready, remove from the pan and set aside.
5
Turn on your grill/broiler to medium.
6
Spread lemon curd on each piece of bread, top with some flaked almonds and finish off with a sprinkling of light brown sugar.
7
Set all the 'finished' pieces on a baking tray and place two rungs down from the top of the grill (or in a position where it doesn't cook too quickly).
8
Let brown, about 3-4 minutes. It is ready when the almonds are toasted, the lemon curd glistens :-) and the sugar just caramelizes.
9
Remove and serve with my staple - cold creme fraiche.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
