French toast with bananas and maple syrup

 Ingredients:

• 50ml/2fl oz whole milk
• 2 free-range eggs
• 2 thick slices slightly stale brioche
• 2 knobs unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• pinch – ½ tsp ground cinnamon, to taste
• 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
• maple syrup, to taste

Directions:

1/ Whisk together the milk and eggs in a wide shallow bowl.

2/ Dip the brioche slices into the egg and milk mixture for one minute, making sure the liquid soaks into the brioche on both sides.

3/ Heat a knob of butter in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, fry the brioche slices for two minutes on each side until golden-brown and crisp. Remove from the pan and place onto a serving plate.

4/ Combine the caster sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

5/ Add another knob of butter to the pan over a high heat. Once melted, add the sliced banana to the pan, toss in the melted butter and fry for two minutes, or until caramelised lightly on the outside.

6/ Serve the French toast with the caramelised banana, a sprinkle of the cinnamon sugar (any extra can be stored and used again) and a drizzle of maple syrup.
