Peanut butter French toast recipe
The addition of peanut butter to the custard mix for this French toast gives it a subtle nuttiness – delicious with a sweet and slightly tart blueberry compote. The compote will freeze well so make double for an even speedier dessert next time.

Step-by-step
- Tip the blueberries into a pan with 1 tbsp water and the honey. Bring up to the boil and simmer gently for 6-8 minutes, until split and juicy.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and peanut butter until fairly smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Lay the brioche slices out in a dish and pour over the egg mixture. Leave to soak for 2 minutes, then turn over and soak for a further 2 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Carefully lift two of the brioche slices out of the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes each side, until crisp and golden.
- Keep warm and repeat with the other slices.
- Serve with the blueberry compote and a dusting of icing sugar.
