HOW TO DO IT

1 For the French toast, place

the eggs, cream, salt and

vanilla essence in a medium

bowl. Whisk until combined

and smooth.

2 Cut each hot cross bun

widthways into 3 slices. Heat

a non-stick frying pan over

medium heat and add a

knob of butter. Working in

batches, briefly dip the hot

cross bun slices into the egg

mixture, ensuring that each

slice is thoroughly coated.

Once the butter in the frying

pan has melted, arrange

the slices in the pan and fry

until golden, about 1 minute

per side. Remove from pan

and stack the slices on top

of each other on a serving

plate. Repeat until all of the

slices have been fried.

3 To serve, spread the French

toast slices with the cream

cheese. Top with the crispy

bacon, pomegranate rubies

and a generous drizzle of

the maple-flavoured syrup.

Serve immediately.
