Ingredients
200g rhubarb, chopped into 3cm slices
1 split vanilla pod
3 tbsp caster sugar
½ small orange, zested and juiced
1 large egg
300ml milk
4 thick slices of white bread
2 tbsp butter
100ml warm custard
Tip
Choosing your bread
Use a thick, hand-sliced loaf for these recipes. If using pre-sliced bread, soak it for half the time stated in the method.
Direction
Simmer the rhubarb with the vanilla pod, caster sugar and the zest and juice of the orange for 8-10 mins, or until the rhubarb is soft but holds its shape. Set aside.
Beat the egg with the milk in a shallow dish, add the bread and leave to soak for 1 min, turning once.
Fry in the butter over a medium heat for 4 mins, then flip and cook for 4 mins more, until golden on both sides. Top with the rhubarb and warm custard.
