Mini Strawberry French Toast

Super fast to make, and a great breakfast in bed because it's crumb and cutlery free!

Ingredients

• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 2 tsp sugar ((white))
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp milk ((full or low fat))
• Pinch of salt
• 1 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter ((more = yummier))
• 10 slices of baguette ((french stick), around 2 1/5" / 3cm thick)
• Maple syrup ((not optional!))
• Confectioners sugar ((icing sugar), for dusting (optional))
• Extra strawberries ((optional))

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine the sugar and strawberries in a bowl and set aside to macerate (it sweats to form a bit of syrup).

2. 2

   Lightly whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a shallow bowl.

3. 3

   Melt butter in a large fry pan over medium high heat.

4. 4

   Dip each side of the bread slices into the egg, 3 seconds on each side. Place in the pan and fry each side for 2 1/2 minutes, until it is nicely browned.

5. 5

   Remove from the fry pan, and serve, topped with the strawberries (use the syrup created), maple syrup and confectioners sugar (icing sugar), if using.
