Tostadas Francesas al Horno

Ingredientes

• 1 whole baguette
• 4 eggs
• 500 ml milk
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 150 g brown sugar / demerara
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 20 g steel-cut oats
• 1 tsp poppy seeds
• 80 g blueberries
• to taste maple syrup

Preparación

1. 1

   Cut up the baguette in slices. If it's a day or two old then you can put them inside your oven safe dish. If it's fresh like mine you need to dry them up in the oven at 100C for about 30min or until they are nice and hard. But at that temperature they won't be going golden.

2. 2

   Blend all the other ingredients until smooth or use a whisk but just make sure that the egg whites are properly broken down so there are no large pieces of egg whites in between the bread.

3. 3

   Put the mix on top of the bread and garnish with your toppings of choice.

4. 4

   At this point you can store it for up to a day in the fridge. This comes in handy if you want to have a freshly made breakfast but not wake up overly early to achieve it.

5. 5

   Bake at a preheated oven at 180C for at least 30min or until very golden on top. Also, if you press down on the bread no liquid should come up.
