Step 1. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, caster sugar, and vanilla essence until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Step 2. Dip and Coat the Bread
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of butter to the pan and let it melt, coating the base evenly.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked but not overly saturated.
Step 3. Cook the French Toast
Place the bread in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed (about 1-2 teaspoons per batch).
Step 4. Serve
Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey and top with fresh berries. Serve immediately and enjoy!
