  Surprisingly really easy and quick to make. I had to add a bit more milk to the egg mixture as I like to soak the brioche quite well.

  I've just made this for my breakfast and it was delicious. Well, I actually made my own version of it, adding some ground cinnamon to the egg-mix and topping it with stewed peaches and plums. Yum!

  Rather than caster sugar I warm the blueberries in a bit of maple syrup to make the compote, delicious!!

  This was a BIG hit with all the family. I made it in the summer and we sat in the garden to eat it. The kids thought it was a real treat, having ice cream for breakfast!

  The photio doesn't do it justice! Tastes dreamy and a real crowd pleaser. Excellent for sharing on a Friday night indoors....

  Delicious. I made this for my family's breakfast and it went down extremely well. I used a splash of vanilla extract instead of a drop and it worked very well.

  Yummm!!! Just made this for breakfast as I had a hankering for French toast. I'd never made it before and didn't realise how quick and easy it was. I had mine with maple syrup and added a touch of cinnamon to the egg mix. Delicious! The proportions in the recipe are perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness and egginess.
