Method

For the chia jam:

Heat fruit and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the fruit is heated through and begins to break down and bubble.
Use a potato masher to mash the fruit to an even consistency.
Stir in the chia seeds and lemon juice until combined. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Stir in Brekkie Hero.
Give the jam one final good stir. Then serve immediately, or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

To make the french toast:

Whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla in a bowl until combined.
Melt the butter in a pan on medium heat.
Take the bread for a swim and dunk the bread into the mixture then remove, allow excess to drip into the bowl, then lay bread into the melted butter and cook for 2-3 minutes each side until nice and golden.
Repeat for remaining pieces of bread (approx 6).
Smear with cream cheese and spread over chia jam.
