the non chocolate eaters easter brekky

it's rainy outside, and warm and snuggly in bed. so i snuck out and made breakfast in bed for my man and i. neither of us are particularly into copious amounts of chocolate easter eggs, so i made a breakfast that used real eggs instead...

french toast!



here's the recipe. it's brilliantly basic because i am a shocker in the kitchen.
for 2 pieces of french toast (if you want more, just multiply the amounts of the ingredients. so for 4 pieces that'd be twice the amounts below).


  • 2 organic, free range eggs
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of raw sugar
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of salt
  • 1/3 of a cup of oat milk (or your milk of choice)
  • 2 slices of bread
  • honey, maple syrup, or other desired topping
  • and either some butter, oil, or vegetarian/vegan butter (like nuttelex for those non-dairies like myself) to grease the pan when you cook them.


  1. first, crack the eggs into a bowl that is wide and flat enough to soak a piece of bread in.
  2. add the sugar, salt and milk, and beat the mixture until it is creamy and there are no obvious chunks of anything floating in it.
  3. heat a frying pan that is big enough to fit your bread in to a low to medium heat. if you have it up too high it will burn the outside of your french toast before it cooks all the way through. grease the with your choice of butter or oil.
  4. soak your bread in the mixture (don't forget to flip it in the mixture so it soaks both sides). one piece at a time is fine. leave each side in the mixture for about a minute or so, or until it looks like it's nice and soaked.
  5. be careful when picking up the bread to put it in the frying pan because it can fall apart. place a piece in the frying pan and cook until golden brown, flipping it to cook both sides. each side will only take a few minutes, so check it so you don't burn it. do this for all your pieces of bread.
  6. to keep them warm while you are cooking the rest, put them on a plate and cover them with aluminium foil, it insulates their heat.
  7. lather them with your chosen topping (honey is my favourite!) and enjoy with a cup of tea, snuggled in bed when it's raining outside!
yum!
