Ingredients
- 2 medium British Lion eggs
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- A pinch of cinnamon
- 2 hot cross buns
- A few drops of vegetable oil
- 225g mixed berries - strawberries, blueberries and halved strawberries
- Greek yogurt and honey to serve
Method
- In a wide shallow bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, sugar and cinnamon. Use a bread knife to horizontally slice each hot cross bun into 3.
- Place the bread in the egg mixture and leave to soak for 5 minutes, turning occasionally until all the egg has been soaked up.
- To make the compote, cut the strawberries into halves or quarter and place in a small pan with the raspberries and blueberries. Add the sugar and mix well. Place over a gentle heat and slowly bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, before spooning into a serving bowl or jug and leave to cool.
- Heat a medium non-stick pan, then add a couple of drops of oil and swirl around the pan. Pick up the hot cross buns and cook in the pan for 2 minutes until the base is golden.
- Turn over with a spatula and repeat until both sides are golden and crisp.
- Transfer to serving plates. Serve three slices per person and spoon over the warm compote. Serve with yogurt and honey
