Eggy Bread – You can enjoy this dish for breakfast by adding some maple syrup and crispy bacon on top or for dessert with a scoop of your favourite ice cream.

INGREDIENTS 

• 2 slices of brioche (normal white bread can be used)
• 1 banana sliced
• Peanut butter – chef’s favourite is crunchy
• 2 medium eggs
• 250ml of double cream (milk can be used)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• a bowl of cornflakes

METHOD 

• Whisk together eggs, cream and vanilla essence until combined tip into a tray and set aside
• Crush your cornflakes, I put them in another tray and go to work with a potato masher, they do not have to be too fine
• Spread the peanut butter on both slices of brioche and layer the banana onto one side of peanut butter
• Put one slice of brioche onto the other as if you were making a sandwich
• Squash down a little then dip fully into the egg and cream mixture, turn over and dip the other side
• It is important that all the bread is dipped into the egg and cream
• Lift up and dip into the crushed cornflakes, turn over and repeat the process
• Try and cover as much of the bread with cornflakes as possible
• Fry the sandwich in a little oil and butter (use a non stick frying pan if possible) on a medium heat
• When the first side is golden brown turn the sandwich over and fry the second side
