Look no further than this family favourite!

For the French toast:

1 brioche or milk pan

4 free-range eggs

250ml milk

250ml heavy cream

a pinch of nutmeg

a pinch of cinnamon

200g sugar

3oz bourbon

For the raspberry-vanilla compote:

For the French toast, mix all the ingredients together, slice the bread and dip into the mixture, pan fry in a non-stick pan using a little butter. Cook on both sides for a couple of minutes until golden brown.

To make the compote, place all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for a couple of minutes and taste for sweetness - add a little more sugar if necessary.

Dust with a little icing sugar before serving as is or with a dollop of natural yoghurt.
