Ingredients

🍋For filling

  • 50g cream cheese

  • 50g ricotta

  • 20g honey

  • Lemon zest

🍞For French toast

  • 40g milk (I used oat)

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 2 slices brioche bread (can use GF)

  • Butter to cook

🍞Method

  • In a bowl mix the cream cheese, ricotta, honey and lemon zest until getting a homogeneous creamy mix

  • In a separate bowl beat the milk, egg and cinnamon together

  • Cut two thick slices of brioche bread and flatten them in the middle with a spoon to create space for the ricotta filling

  • Place the ricotta filling on top of one of the slices with a spoon without reaching the edges. Cover with the second slice on top

  • Soak this toast in the milk and egg mix for 2 minutes on each side so the bread soaks up

  • Melt a knob of butter on a frying pan at medium eat. Add your French toast and cook on each side for a couple of minutes until golden brown

  • Serve hot and dust with icing sugar

FAQS and Tips

  • Use high quality ricotta if you can for best results!

  • If you cannot find brioche you can use regular bread by removing the crust and leaving it to soak for 5 minutes in each side
