Directions
The Filling
Whip the eggs, icing sugar, vanilla extract and team together.
Soak two slices of bread at the same time in the egg mixture.
Spray a frying pan large enough to hold two slices of bread with nonstick cooking spray and heat to medium high.
The Bread
Gently lift the bread out the egg mixture and place it into the pan. Fry on both sides till golden. Remove and keep warm.
Repeat with the remaining two slices of bread.
Place a spoonful of ricotta cheese and a spoonful of the plum mixture down the center of each slice of French toast.
Roll up gently and serve on a warm plate.
Garnish the tops with toasted almonds, honey and a dusting of icing sugar.
The Plums
Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix together well so that the plums get coated with the other ingredients.
Pile into a medium sized oven proof dish and roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until the plums are not and bubbling.
