Add 1 tbsp of butter to a frying pan on a low/med heat
Dip the egg in the bread,
Carefully turn it over to coat the other side.
Then add the bread to the cornflakes,

Use a flat turner to this to stop the bread from breaking up
Add the coated bread into the frying pan-it easier if you do it in batches of 1 or 2 slices.
Increase the heat slightly and fry for 2-3mns or until golden
Turn the bread over and repeat for the other side.
Remove from the pan and cover with some tinfoil to keep warm whilst you do the remaining slices.
Lower the heat when placing the next batch in the pan then increase to crisp it.
Repeat till all the bread is cooked.
1 tbsp of butter is enough for 2 slices of bread but you can add more if you wish.
Serve warm with cooked bacon, mixed berries, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of icing sugar.
