Kaya Filled French Toast

Method

Step 1

Cut the loaf to the size you are after, and then slice it down the middle to create two slices.

Step 2

In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the vanilla pods. If you like a strong flavour, you can put in extra vanilla. Pour in the milk, then whisk the ingredients until they are all blended together. Add a pinch of cinnamon and mix it together. If you have a sweet tooth, you can also add some brown sugar.

Step 3

With a spoon, spread a layer of kaya, which is a spread containing coconut and sugar, across the bread and then combine the two slices. Soak the bread in the egg mixture – make sure you cover each side in the wash.

Step 4

Over the stove top on medium heat, melt a teaspoon of butter and once it begins to bubble, fry your soaked bread until each side is golden brown.

Step 5

Take the loaf off the stove and slice it down the middle, to put the green layer of kaya on show. For serving, add mixed berries and kiwi-fruit on the side and drizzle the honey over the top. If you are after an extra shot if sweetness, powder a light layer of icing sugar over the top of the French toast.
