Ingredients

Classic Sizzlers & Glaze

8 x Fry’s Classic Sizzlers
1 Tbsp (15 ml) honey
2 chillis, sliced

Vegan French Toast

¼ cup chickpea flour
3 Tbsp parsley
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp turmeric
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
¼ cup water
8 slices bread of choice

Mushrooms & Veggies

1 punnet portobellini mushrooms, quartered
1 onion, sliced
100 g baby tomatoes
1 Tbsp lemon juice
100 g baby spinach
Oil for frying

Method

Classic Sizzlers

Heat oil over medium-low heat. Fry the Sizzlers for 8–10 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add honey and chilli, tossing to coat the Sizzlers in the glaze.

Vegan French Toast

In a bowl, combine chickpea flour, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric and smoked paprika. Whisk in almond milk until lump-free batter forms.
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Dunk a slice of bread in the batter on both sides and fry for 3–4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread.

Mushrooms & Veggies

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Toss, add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes on medium heat.
Add tomatoes, spinach, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 more minutes until spinach has wilted.

To Serve

Serve French toast with the chilli & honey glazed Sizzlers and sautéed mushrooms.
