Ingredients

6 slices Bakers Delight Hi Fibre Lo-GI White Block Loaf (unsliced)
4 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup pecans
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup thickened cream
2 tbs butter

METHOD

STEP 1
Using a bread knife thickly slice your Hi Fibre Lo-Gi White Block loaf into 6 thick cafe-style slices for French toast

STEP 2
In a medium bowl whisk your eggs, milk, 1 tsp of cinnamon & 1 tsp of vanilla. Dip each slice into the egg mixture, coating on both sides and then put aside on a large plate

STEP 3
In a large fry pan on medium heat, melt some butter and then in 2 batches cook your French toast. Cook each slice on each side for about 2-3 mins until golden. Put aside on a plate

STEP 4
For the caramel pecan sauce, add 2 tbs of butter to a medium saucepan. Once melted down add your brown sugar and stir until dissolved

STEP 5
Add the remaining 1 tsp of cinnamon, vanilla and cream, and stir until the sauce is combined. Keep stirring, once the sauce is the desired golden caramel colour and starts to bubble mix in your pecans. Stir to coat the nuts and then turn off the heat

STEP 6
Place your slices of French toast into a large dish or pan with an edge & then evenly pour over the caramelised pecan sauce. Serve immediately.
