Mother’s Day Recipe: French Toast with Sweet Ricotta Cream and Maple Syrup

French Toast is one of my all-time breakfast favourites. This recipe gives it an updated twist with the addition of sweet ricotta cream and maple syrup. 



Ingredients:
Serves 2

  • 3  eggs
  • ΒΌ  cup  (60ml)  milk
  • 2  tablespoons  sugar
  • teaspoon  vanilla  extract
  • 15g  butter,  melted
  • 4  thick  (Toast  size)  firm  white  sliced  bread, 
  • one  day  old
  • Cooking  Spray
  • Maple  syrup  to  serve
  • Seasonal  fruit  of  your  choice

Sweet Ricotta Cream

  • 200g  fresh  ricotta
  • 2  tablespoons  thickened  cream
  • tablespoon  caster  sugar
  • Β½  teaspoon  vanilla  bean  paste

Method:
1. To  make  the  sweet  ricotta  cream,  place  ricotta,  cream,  sugar  and  vanilla  extract  into  a  bowl  and  beat  until  light  and  whipped.  Set  aside.
2. To  make  the  French  toast,  whisk  together  eggs,  milk,  sugar,  vanilla  and  melted  butter.  Pour  into  a  large  shallow  bowl  big  enough 
to  fit  the  bread  slices  in  easily.
3. Place  one  slice  of  bread  into  the  egg  mix  and  press  down  lightly.  Quickly,  turn  over  and  repeat.  Lift  out  of  the  egg  mixture 
and  drain  off  excess  egg  mixture  back  into  the  bowl.
4. Lightly  grease  the  inside  of  the  sandwich  rack  with  cooking  spray  and  place  soaked  bread  inside.  Bring  the  handles  together 
and  close  the  clip  to  keep  grids  together.
Insert  the  Sandwich  Rack  into  the  toaster  slot.  Toast  until  golden  and  set.
5. Once  French  toast  is  ready,  serve  warm  topped  with  a  dollop  of  ricotta  cream  and  a  good  drizzle  of  maple  syrup  and  fruit  of  your 
choice. Repeat  with  remaining  French  toast.
