Instructions

Step 1

Beat together the eggs, spices and skimmed milk. Season with a little black pepper and pour into a shallow dish. Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture until they are saturated.

Step 2

Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place it over a medium heat. When hot, add the soaked bread slices and cook gently for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown underneath. Flip them over and cook the other side.

Step 3

Slide the French toast out of the pan onto two warm serving plates. Serve immediately with the fresh berries and a spoonful of fromage frais, dusted lightly with icing sugar.

Step 4

Variation: Instead of berries, serve each portion of French toast with ½ sliced fresh peach or 2 fresh apricots, stoned and quartered.

Step 5

NOTE : Instead of dusting with icing sugar, you might be tempted to drizzle some maple syrup over the top, but a single tablespoon is a whopping 52kcal! And even a teaspoon comes to 17kcal. So if you have a sweet tooth, whisk a teaspoon of granulated artificial sweetener into the egg mixture, unless you’re on Step 5 in which case you can have 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
