Steps
-
Step 1:
In a wide, shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, milk, golden caster sugar and sherry.
-
Step 2:
Cut each slice of bread in two and dip the pieces into the egg mixture, turning them to coat both sides well.
-
Step 3:
Soak the bread in the egg mixture for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid, turning it carefully from time to time so it does not get too soggy.
