Apple-Spiced Brioche French Toast

• In a large frying pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Cook apple, stirring regularly, until softened, 3-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Cook until reduced and sticky, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and cover to keep warm.

• In a large shallow bowl or dish, whisk the egg and light cooking cream to combine. Add brioche slices and gently turn to coat. • Set aside to soak for 10 minutes.

• Meanwhile, wash out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Toast pecans, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

• Return frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, gently remove brioche slices from egg mixture and cook, in batches, until lightly browned and set, 2-4 minutes each side. • Transfer cooked brioche to spiced sugar and turn to lightly coat.

TIP: Add some butter to the pan for extra flavour!
