French toast with maple ricotta

Ingredients

1 cup fresh ricotta

1 tbl maple syrup

4 eggs

3/4 cup milk

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

6 slices of sourdough

3 tbl butter or olive oil

To serve - raspberries and hemps seeds

Method

Using a fork, whisk ricotta and maple syrup together in a bowl. Leave aside in the fridge until ready to serve.

Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl. Add two slices of bread to a dish with a flat bottom and pour the egg mixture over the top. Allow to soak for 1-2 minutes, then flip the bread and soak for another minute.

Heat 1 tbl butter in a frypan over medium heat. Carefully lift the two slices of bread from the dish and add to the frypan. Fry for 3 mins on each side, until golden and crisp, then place on a wire rack (you can place this rack in a low oven to keep warm if you wish).

While the first two slices of bread are cooking, soak the next two slices. Repeat the same cooking steps with the remainder of the bread.

To serve, place a large scoop of maple ricotta on top of the toast and add berries and hemp seeds.

Perfect for breakfast in bed!
