LOCAL CHEF RYAN BROKENBROW'S RECIPE
Maple & Blueberry French Toast
French toast or Pain Perdu is the delicious sweet brunch treat or quick and easy evening dessert, great for using up stale bread. French toast is big in America and you can see why, the custard soaked bread is slightly like a crisp on the outside and bread and butter pudding like on the inside. You can also swap the blueberries for some bacon if you fancy!
