I really have to hand it to the Cooking Channel – the fact that they are recycling Nigella Lawson episodes is a great idea. One of the recent airings showcased her Donut French Toast and, after a burst of culinary inspiration (along with some great local NJ blueberries), I can see why it could be considered a guilty pleasure.

This recipe was super simple and the blueberry sauce was a breeze to make with a mini-food processor. So, the next time you have a craving for Doughnuts, why not whip up this quick at home version.

DOUGHNUT FRENCH TOAST

Directions

1. Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a wide shallow bowl.
2. Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture for 5 minutes a side.
3. Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan/skillet, fry the egg-soaked bread until golden and scorched in parts on both sides.
4. Put the sugar onto a plate and then dredge the french toast so that it is coated like a sugared doughnut.
