1.	Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 20cm square baking dish with baking parchment.
2.	Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter and cut each slice in half diagonally to create triangle shapes.
3.	Arrange half the slices of bread, buttered-side up, in the baking dish, overlapping slightly. Scatter over half the mixed dried fruit.
4.	Arrange the remaining slices of bread on top, again buttered-side up and overlapping slightly. Scatter with the remaining mixed dried fruit.
5.	In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, double cream, milk and vanilla extract until combined. Pour over the bread and press the bread down gently so it soaks up the liquid. Sprinkle with cinnamon and caster sugar.
6.	Bake in the oven for 40-45 mins until golden brown.
7.	Serve hot or cold as a sandwich with extra butter or your favourite jam.
