Apple Crumble Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 slices soft white or brioche bread
• 4–6 tbsp leftover Apple Crumble
• 2 large eggs
• 60ml milk
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 30g butter, for cooking
• Icing sugar or maple syrup, to serve, optional

Directions

1. Place two slices of bread on a clean work surface. Spoon 2 - 3 tbsp of the leftover apple crumble into the centre of each slice.
2. Place the remaining slices of bread on top.
3. Using a large round cookie cutter or wide-rimmed glass, press firmly around the filling to cut and seal the bread into a filled pocket. Remove the excess crusts and set aside for breadcrumbs for another day.
4. Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla together in a shallow bowl.
5. Carefully dip each stuffed bread pocket into the egg mixture, coating both sides without allowing the bread to become overly saturated.
6. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
7. Cook the stuffed French toast for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.
8. Serve immediately with a dusting of icing sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
