Strawberry Croissant French Toast

Ingredients
- 7 mini croissants
- 1 Tbsp strawberry jam
- 250g strawberries, sliced plus whole strawberries to serve
- 1 Tbsp caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste

- Icing sugar, for dusting
Method
-
1. Preheat oven to 150°C (130°C fan-forced).
-
2. With a sharp knife, carefully cut open the inside edge of each croissant to make a pocket, leaving 1cm at each end. Spread strawberry jam in the pocket, and fill with a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat with remaining croissants.

3. Place sugar, egg, milk and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until combined.

4. Heat half of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. When the butter is sizzling, dip four filled croissants into the milk mixture. Place the croissants in the pan. Cook until golden brown (approx 2-3 minutes each side). Remove from pan and place on a wire rack over a baking tray. Place in the oven to keep warm.
