#Cinnamon french toast recipe free#

With thanks to Brioche Pasquier for the product samples for their #shareamoment campaign – you’ve made my children very, very happy! (Or they will be once they get home from school and are allowed to eat them!).I’ve opted for wholemeal bread with this recipe, as being a complex carb rather than a simple carb, we’ll feel fuller for longer which is what we need with a healthy breakfast recipe. This afternoon, after school, I’ve promised them they can have at with the pain au chocolat (my favourite) with a mug of hot chocolate. My children will be treated to this cinnamon brioche French toast recipe this week though, on my birthday! In addition to my blog being 5 this week I am turning the big 4-0. Look out for their pains au chocolat, pains au lait, croissants and sliced brioche loaf in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, the Co-op, Budgens and Ocado.

All of their recipes are free from artificial colours, flavours and hydrogenated fats. They raise their own dough using their own traditional ‘levain’, a natural raising agent that adds to the unique flavour and consistency of their dough. In 1974 his sons turned it into the family business of Brioche Pasquier that we now know, and they now they employ over 3000 people worldwide (and occasionally commission us food bloggers too!). Yum.īrioche Pasquier was founded in 1936 by Gabriel Pasquier in the small French village of Les Cerqueux. To serve: bacon & maple syrup or (and this is my secret extra-special favourite way) lashings of golden syrup and a generous sprinkling of icing sugar. Buttered bread (both sides) gets soaked in the cinnamon eggy mixture and then it’s fried in a non-stick pan for a few minutes on either side. I never use a recipe when I make it though – I whisk up a couple of eggs (five eggs when all five of us are eating together) with a splash of milk and sprinkle this eggy mixture liberally with a good coating of ground cinnamon straight from the spice jar. Their sliced brioche loaf makes the best French toast ever! I have no idea when I started making French toast, over two decades ago, definitely, but every now and then when I want to make breakfast a little extra special, like for birthdays or blogaversaries (or just because I want it), I make it with some Brioche Pasquier sliced brioche loaf. Yes, I totally ate the contents of these photographs. They weren’t allowed to touch the brioche until I’d photographed it, something the children of food bloggers are well versed with. The sun’s only rising when they head off for school, which means I actually made the cinnamon brioche French toast pictured here for my lunch, when I have a two hour window of decent natural light for food photography. I wanted to make them a batch of cinnamon brioche French toast for breakfast, but this time of year in Shetland it’s still pitch black when the kids get up in the morning. This morning, to celebrate, I made my children a batch of cinnamon brioche French toast for breakfast.

I love it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Fast forward five years and my little space of the internet is thriving, and I earn enough from the commissioned recipes I make (this like this one), to be a stay at home Mum and to call myself my own boss.

It’s my blogaversary today! Well, at least, I think it’s today… I know it was the end of November, a few days before my own birthday, when I first set up a private food blog on Blogger.
