How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

Shallow bowl in a wide.
Beat the eggs with sherry, golden caster sugar, milk and the cream.
Cut every slice of bread in two plus dip them in your egg mix, turning.
Do it to make sure they get good coating on either side.
Soak bread in egg mix for 10 mins to absorb the liquid.
Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a big frying pan.
Cook the bread for around 3 mins on every side till dark golden and crisp on the edge.
