red plums with fruit bread

 

I love the contrast between the sharpness of plums and the sweetness of the fruit loaf, which makes this dessert nicely balanced and not too sweet.

instructions

 

1. De-stone and cut each of the plums into 8 wedges.

2. Place them in the small saucepan with 6 (out of 8) teaspoons of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Cover the pan and cook the plums on low/moderate heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that they don’t burn.

3. Meantime the Pyrex (or any other shallow dish) whisk the egg with 50ml of milk.
4. Cut of the crust of 4 slices of the fruit bread and dunk them in the egg mixture.

5. Melt 15g (small knob) of butter in the frying pan and fry the pieces of fruit bread, on the very low heat, a minute on each side.

To serve: arrange one slice of the bread on the plate and cover it with the plum wedges. Rest the second piece of the bread on top and serve with a dollop of natural Greek yoghurt.
