Will it re-freeze?

I wouldn’t recommend it for this. These are definitely best cooked fresh.

Lay the bread slices out in a single layer in a shallow dish (or two). In a jug, beat together the eggs and milk, then pour it all over the bread slices. Turn them over in the mixture to make sure they are all evenly coated, then leave them for 10–15 minutes for the egg to completely soak in.

Meanwhile, make the filling for the toast by beating together the ricotta, lemon zest and icing sugar until smooth.

To make the sauce, put the blueberries in a saucepan with the icing sugar and lemon juice. Cook over a gentle heat until the berries have defrosted and let out their juice, and that juice has begun to thicken again. You can leave the pan over a gentle heat while you cook the toast, stirring occasionally.

By now, the bread should have absorbed all of the egg mixture. Divide the lemony filling between four of the bread slices, spreading it out over the slices but leaving a 1cm (½in) clear border around the edge. Top those four slices with the remaining bread to make ricotta sandwiches.

Melt a little butter in a non-stick frying pan over low–medium heat and add one of the sandwiches to the pan. Leave the sandwich to cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is a golden colour. Press down gently with a spatula to flatten and seal the sandwich as it cooks. Once the sandwich is golden, flip it over and cook for the same amount of time on the other side.

Dust the top of the sandwich with a little icing sugar (try and keep it on the bread and not in the pan or it will burn). Flip it over and cook for 20–30 seconds until it has melted. Dust the other side, flip and cook again for a few seconds until you have a caramelized crust on both sides.

Remove the sandwich from the pan, slice it in half diagonally and top with a little blueberry sauce to serve. Give the pan a quick wipe with a piece of kitchen paper and repeat the process until all the sandwiches are cooked. There’s no call for courtesy here – eat them hot and fresh out the pan rather than waiting until all the sandwiches are cooked – they are much better that way.
