At a glance

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
• A pinch of cinnamon
• 2 slices of bread (wholemeal or whole grain if available)
• ½ cup fresh or frozen berries, to serve (such as strawberries, blueberries)
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yoghurt, to serve

Steps

1. Crack the egg into a small bowl and use a fork or whisk to beat the egg until the yolk and white are combined and become one colour.
2. Add vanilla and cinnamon to the egg and mix everything together using a wooden spoon.
3. Pour the egg mixture onto a plate.
4. Place each slice of bread in the egg mixture and coat each side.
5. Heat a large frying pan to medium heat. Add the bread to the pan (if there is room for two slices of bread). If there is not enough room, then cook each slice separately. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Serve warm with some chopped berries and Greek yoghurt or cut into squares for a lunchbox snack.

*Tips

You can use these as a dipper in custard or experiment with fruity flavours in the egg mixture. For example, you could add a splash of orange juice or mix in some mashed berries to the egg mixture before coating the bread.
