After a whole day of hiking at Box Hill, which by the way was an amazing experience, all I could think of was a relaxing bath and the breakfast I would cook the next morning… Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and there is nothing better than a nutritious meal after a full on day!
My pick? A festive take on the beloved French toast. And by festive, I mean boozy! You don’t need to get drunk… Just add a few tablespoons of brandy cream in the eggs and it will do the trick! And as for toppings, take your pick: bacon and maple syrup if calories don’t mean a thing for you or vanilla yogurt and honey as a lighter option. 
I won’t tire you with further blabber. I will just give you the recipe and I am sure you will make everyone happy on a Sunday morning!

Description
A festive and indulgent French toast with a hint of brandy, perfect for a Sunday brunch that will delight everyone.
Ingredients
- 3 thick slices of bread
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 heaped tablespoons brandy cream
- Greek yogurt, for serving
- Vanilla sugar, for serving
- Optional toppings: bacon and maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk and brandy cream until well combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow each slice to soak for 2 minutes on each side to absorb the mixture.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the soaked bread slices to the pan.
- Cook each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the French toast warm, topped with Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of vanilla sugar. For a richer option, add bacon and maple syrup, or for a lighter choice, drizzle with honey.
Notes
For a lighter version, serve with vanilla yogurt and honey. For a more indulgent option, add bacon and maple syrup. Ensure the bread is thick to absorb the mixture well. This dish is best served immediately after cooking.
