Method

To prepare the French toast

Spread four slices of bread with cream cheese, add the chopped pancetta, orange, cinnamon, and chopped chives.

Season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper and 'sandwich' the bread together.

To make the batter

Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and freshly ground black pepper and stir well.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan with a little oil and butter.

Slice the 'sandwiches' into two triangles and dip each into the egg batter.

Place into the heated pan and cook on each side until golden.

Continue until all the “sandwiches” are cooked.

To serve

Place two pieces onto each plate, dust with icing sugar.

Garnish each with two slices of grilled pancetta and lengths of chives.

Serve immediately.
