成人快手

This is a deliciously indulgent brunch dish that really must be tried.听 The sweet and salty combination of caramelised banana and crisp bacon is balanced beautifully with the creamy, soft, eggy bread.

Cooking time: 15 mins

Ingredients

200g caster sugar

3 overripe bananas, roughly chopped

5 eggs, beaten

225ml milk

20ml dark rum

8 thick slices of brioche

8 slices of bacon听(Nigel used smoked, streaky bacon)

25g butter

1 tbsp vegetable oil

maple syrup, for drizzling

听

Method

Heat a medium saucepan over high heat and add 100g sugar.听 Allow the sugar to caramelise to a deep golden brown, swirling the pan a little to ensure even cooking.听 Add the bananas and stir over low heat, until you have a thick paste.听 Set aside.

听

Put the eggs, milk, rum and remaining 100g sugar in a baking dish big enough to sit 4 slices of brioche.听 Stir well, until the sugar has dissolved.

听

Spread the caramelised banana paste onto 4 brioche slices and put the other 4 slices on top.听 Sit the 4 sandwiches in the baking dish and spoon the egg mixture over the top.听 Leave for about 10 mins on each side for the egg to completely soak into the brioche.

听

Heat a grill to high and cook the bacon until golden and crisp.听 Keep warm.

听

Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the oil.听 Add the brioche sandwiches, fry for 2-4 mins on each side until golden and the egg has just cooked through.

Serve the caramelised banana pain perdu topped with crispy bacon and drizzled with maple syrup.
