An American Style Brunch

Sometimes I am in the mood for something different for breakfast, especially when it's a lazy Sunday morning. I love a traditional fry-up (well grill-up really!) and I also like toast and jam, but for days when I cannot decide if I am in the mood for sweet or savoury I look across the pond for inspiration.

American Style Brunch
Serves 2 - 3.5 Pts each

1 Egg
1 Egg white
1 Pack smoked turkey rashers
4 Slices WW bread
2 Tbsp maple syrup
50 ml milk

Grill the turkey rashers and keep warm. Beat the egg, egg white and milk together until combined. Cut the bread in half diagonally. Pre-heat a heavy frying pan and spray with oil from a mister. Dip the bread into the egg mix ensuring that both sides are covered and then fry until golden on each side. Serve the bread (which is Eggy bread to the English and French Toast for the Americans) with the rashers and drizzle maple syrup over the top. It may sound like a strange combination but it really works especially with a huge pot of strong coffee.

The french toast can also be served with fruit just add a little sweetener to the egg mix and if liked some cinnamon or lemon zest
