Add some champagne to your orange juice
and tuck into all this ideally around 11 a.m.
French Toast Rolls
4 eggs
75ml milk
leaves stripped from a few thyme sprigs
salt, pepper
125g Gruyere or Havarti cheese
8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
100g unsalted butter
Whisk the eggs, milk, thyme and seasoning together in a wide, shallow bowl. Place a slice of cheese at the top of each slice of bread and roll up tightly. Moisten your fingertips in water and rub across the seam to seal. Leave the rolls to soak in the egg mixture for 10 minutes.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the rolls over a medium-low heat, turning frequently. When they are deep golden all over and the cheese begins to ooze out, they are ready to eat.
