  • Whilst the figs are roasting, combine the eggs, milk, salt and cinnamon in a small tray and whisk well. (If you prefer a sweet toast, add a teaspoon of sugar). Add the bread slices two at a time and allow them to soak up the custard, turning them over in the mixture.
  • Warm a large nonstick pan to medium heat and add half the butter. Once the butter is gently sizzling place two bread slices in the pan.

Keep warm in an oven whilst cooking the next two slices.
  • To serve, top the French toast with the roasted figs, dollops of yoghurt, a drizzle of honey, toasted almonds and more fresh rosemary.
