This recipe requires very ripe bananas.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 thick slices good quality white bread
- 1 dash Extra Virgin Olive Oil to stop butter from burning
- 20g unsalted butter
- 2 ripe bananas sliced diagonally
- 2 tbsp Verjuice (or fresh lemon juice + 1/2 tsp sweetener – honey, sugar, maple syrup).
- For frying extra butter
- For dusting icing sugar
Method
- Beat the eggs and milk together. Add the cinnamon and lay each slice of bread in this mixture for a couple of minutes on each side so that the bread soaks up some of the liquid but doesn’t become too soggy.
- Add the butter to a frying pan and when it is sizzling, toss in the slices of banana and cook until caramelised on each side.
- Drizzle with Verjuice to deglaze. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add a little more butter to the frying pan and when it’s bubbling, gently place the bread in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until crisp.
- Divide the bananas between each slice of French toast and dust with a little icing sugar. Serve immediately!
