Cinnamon French toast with wimberries
by
Wimberries, or bilberries, are a close relative of blueberries but with a fuller flavour and deep red flesh. Shaun Hill makes the most of these elusive foraged berries in this beautiful breakfast. Shaun recommends using a rich-dough bread like brioche for an extravagant finish.
