4. Cook them at 180 °C for 7 to 8 minutes without preheating, turning after 4 minutes, until golden brown.

Good to know

French toast for dipping: day-old bread becomes golden sticks that go straight into skyr and raspberries. A breakfast that children and grown-ups polish off equally fast.

Swaps

Wholemeal spelt bread → wholemeal rye bread (heartier). Milk → oat milk. Raspberries → blueberries (sweeter). Skyr → yoghurt (milder).

Cooking tips

Day-old bread soaks up the egg mixture better and doesn't fall apart. Let frozen raspberries thaw a little first, then they turn into a sauce when you mash them.

Storage

Best fresh; leftover sticks keep for a day in the fridge and crisp up again in the air fryer in 3 minutes.

Allergens

Contains gluten, egg and milk; suitable for children. In pregnancy, cook until no liquid egg comes out, and bring frozen raspberries briefly to the boil first.
