This is great if your looking for recipes to use up eggs.

Crack the eggs in a small bowl or cup and whisk them with a fork.

Carefully pour the beaten eggs onto a small plate – one that fits a slice of bread on it.

Place a slice of bread into the beaten egg mixture – press it down slightly, the bread is like a sponge it will soak up the egg mixture.

Add a splash of olive oil to a non stick frying pan over a medium heat – once the oil is hot place the eggy bread into the pan to fry.
Cook it for around 2 minutes on one side before flipping and cooking the other side – make sure both sides are lovely and golden brown.

Once cooked place the eggy bred onto a slice of kitchen paper to soak up any excess oil.
Then transfer to a chopping board and using the star shaped cookie cutter cut out as many stars as you can from the French toast.
