Creme Egg and French toast soldiers recipe

Cadbury’s Creme Eggs and French toast soldiers is one of the cutest options we've come across for serving up as a special Easter brunch.

The only thing that needs cooking in this recipe is the French toast - fried to give it a bit of crispness and laced with sugar and ground cinnamon. When chopped into smart soldiers, they make the ideal dippers for Creme Eggs. It can be tricky to top chocolate eggs with a teaspoon, the way you would with a real boiled egg. However, if you have an egg topper tool, which inserts small points around the top of the egg, this the time to use it. Otherwise, use a large sharp knife, heated slightly over a hob, to cut the tops off before serving.

Ingredients

• 2 x Creme Eggs
• 1 x slice white bread
• 1 x egg
• 1 tbsp milk
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
• 1 tbsp butter

Method

1. Begin by arranging your egg cups and plates on the table so as soon as the French toast is ready you can tuck straight in.
2. Add the Creme Eggs to your egg cups and get a frying pan on the cooker top.
3. Meanwhile, whisk your egg, milk, vanilla and half the sugar together in a bowl. Dunk each bread slice in the mixture and leave to one side.
4. Melt the butter in your warmed pan and then fry the bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked and golden.
5. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the warm French toast with the remaining cinnamon and sugar and cut into fingers.
6. Arrange on your plate and tuck in!
