Method

  1. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a medium-size frying pan. Put in the apricots, cut-side down, and gently fry for 2-3 mins. Flip over and cook for 1 min more until lightly golden. Add the caramel to the pan and melt until saucy - if it's still too thick to coat the fruit, add a splash of water. Keep warm.
  2. Mix the custard with 4 tbsp of water to loosen, then dip in the bread slices, turning to coat thoroughly. Melt half the remaining butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Lightly shake off any excess custard mixture from half the bread slices and fry in the butter for 2 mins each side until golden. Repeat with remaining butter and bread, then serve hot with the caramel apricots.

    Tasted good but took a very long time for the bread to cook - and never really went golden, so not sure what I did wrong. I made an apple concotion to go over them - cooked the sliced apples in the oven (I had something else in at the time) on a baking tray sprinkled with brown sugar and some dots of butter and a splash of water at the end to make a sauce. Think I'll stick to traditional French Toast in future.
