For this classic midmorning snack, light dinner or just down right indulgence, you will need…
- 150 ml of semi skimmed milk
- 3 free eggs
- 4 slices of French brioche
- 4 heaped tablespoons of Greek natural yoghurt
- Fresh herbs
- Gooseberries
(Serves four)
1. To begin this beautiful classic, in a medium sized bowl whisk together your eggs and milk.
2. Place a large frying pan onto a medium heat, allow to come up to temperature, once up to temperature add a knob of butter allow to melt gently.
3. Taking a slice of your brioche bread dip each side in the egg and milk mixture.
4. Place the bread into the pan, allow to cook on both sides until lightly golden and crisp.
5. Place onto a pre-warmed artisan plate, and dust lightly with a little icing sugar.
6. I wanted to make this snack a little healthier so I substituted the normal clotted cream for 0% fat extra thick Greek yoghurt, so add a big dollup in the middle.
7. As Gooseberries are in season, I wanted to use a selection, so I lightly pickled some gooseberries, made a compote and kept some raw.
8. To finish garnish with fresh lemon thyme, mint and drizzled organic Richmond Honey.
