Smashed Avo and Bacon on Sweetcorn French Toast
French toast should be made from thick slices of good-quality white bread. The cream style sweetcorn thickens as the batter is cooked, creating a custardy centre with crisp edges. Serve them topped with smashed avo and bacon. A joyful and substantial Mexican /French fusion brunch.

- Pinch smoked paprika (we love Gregg's)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (we love Mainland cheddar)

Method
- In a bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, smoked paprika, salt, cheddar and creamed corn.
- Soak the bread in the egg mixture for at least 5 minutes until fully soaked and coated.
- In a fry pan over a medium heat, melt a knob of butter. Fry the sweet corn french toast for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
- In a separate pan over a high heat, fry off the bacon until golden with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- With a fork, smash the avocado with the lime juice, coriander, a little salt and paprika.
