Ingredients

2 tsp caster sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 slices bread
2 eggs
75ml semi-skimmed milk
2 tsp unsalted butter
1 tsp Coop olive oil
60g Coop Italian mascarpone
100g Coop frozen summer fruits, defrosted
1 tbsp maple syrup

Method

1. Mix together the sugar and half the cinnamon and set aside

2. Lay the slices of bread side by side in a shallow rectangular dish

3. In a bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk and the rest of the cinnamon

4. Pour the mixture over the bread to cover completely. Leave for 2 mins for the mixture to soak in, gently pressing the bread down, if needed, to keep covered

5. Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the bread and fry on a medium heat for about 2 mins on each side, or until golden brown

6. Remove from the pan and cut each slice in half diagonally

7. Divide the French toast slices between 2 plates, top with the mascarpone and berries, and serve drizzled with the maple syrup and dusted with the cinnamon sugar
