Method

Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Slice the croissants in half lengthways and soak in the egg mixture. Sprinkle each side of the croissants with caster sugar just before frying. Add some butter to a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, place two croissant halves in the pan (do not overcrowd it) and fry gently for 2 minutes until slightly crispy and golden. Serve hot with a dollop of yoghurt and berries, sprinkled with icing sugar.

Tip: For a more decadent version, serve with mascarpone, stewed fruit and toasted nuts. To be healthier, try thick slices of farmhouse loaf instead of croissants.
