Yes, we all love eggs Benedict for Sunday brunch. Having said that it’s good to switch one’s habits from time to time, isn’t it. French toast is such great alternative.

My secret to a good moist (everyone's favourite word, I know) French toast uses double cream rather than milk.

The recipe is very simple and it goes like this:

150ml double cream
zest from 2 oranges
juice from 2 oranges
1 tsp of muscovado sugar
2 eggs

Mix all the ingredients together in a shallow bowl and soak the bread for 10 mins or so.
The older the bread, the longer it can soak.
Fry it on a heavy bottomed pan with a teaspoon of butter until golden brown, then flip it and once ready, serve with fresh fruit and a cloud of icing sugar.
