Chef Vasco Coelho Santos from Michelin-starred Euskalduna Studio, in Porto, Portugal, shares his recipe for a crowd-pleasing rabanadas (the Portuguese answer to French toast).

Crunchy and golden on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside, rabandas are delicious. Vasco Coelho Santos has the perfect dessert recipe for using up bread (usually stale) leftover from your Christmas spread. Slices are bathed in eggs and milk, then sat in a pan until beautifully golden on the outside. Take a look at the easy steps below.
 

Method

Cut the bread and let it dry for at least 2 days.

03.

Remove from the liquid and store in the freezer for 1 day.

04.

Trim to a rectangular shape, coat in sugar and fry in butter.

05.

Put the sugar (N/A) on one side and caramelise with a blowtorch.
