Serves: 1 Soda bread with its soft, spongy texture makes really good French toast. Here are two ideas for a quick economical snack, one sweet and one savoury, both made with everyday ingredients.

  • 75 mls/3floz milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 white soda farl

  • 2 dsp onion relish
  • 25 g/1oz cheese e.g. Wensleydate
  • Serve Sweet
  • 1 red apple
  • 1 green apple
  • 2 plums
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 dsp water
  • 1 dsp yoghurt

Instructions

  • Break the eggs into a bowl. Whisk along with the milk and a pinch of salt. Cut the soda bread in two and soak in the mixture for 30 seconds.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a shallow frying pan. Add the coated soda bread and cook lightly on either side, turning once. Cooking should take only a couple of minutes in total. Use a little kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
