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.

Remove and serve with my staple - cold creme fraiche.
