• ¼ tsp vanilla essence
• Pinch of salt
• 3 tbsp cream

Preheat the oven to 150C. Warm the honey, vanilla and salt and whisk together with the eggs and cream. Soak the bread in the mixture until soggy. Melt the butter in the fry pan and brown the ciabatta on both sides before placing it into the oven for about 6-7 minutes until puffed up.
