Cadbury’s Creme Eggs and French toast soldiers are the perfect treat for a lazy Easter weekend brunch.
The soldiers are actually cinnamon French toast, and because they’re deliciously crunchy you’ll be able to dunk them into the Creme Egg fondant centres. To ensure the French toast has absorbed all of the delicious flavour, leave the bread to saturate in the milk, eggs, vanilla and sugar for at least 20 seconds on each side before lightly frying. If you’re preparing for younger kids, don’t forget to remove the tops before serving.
