Ingredients

Banana brioche bake
  • 4 eggs
  • 300 millilitre tub thickened cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup, plus extra to serve
  • 200 gram packet streaky bacon
  • 400 gram brioche, cut into 2cm slices
  • 1/2 cup ballantyne spreadable butter
  • 3 bananas, sliced

Method

Banana brioche bake
  • 1
    Lightly grease an 18x25cm (6 cup) deep rectangle baking dish.
  • 2
    In a jug, whisk eggs, cream, milk, vanilla and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Set aside.
  • 3
    Roughly chop half the bacon. In a frying pan, cook chopped bacon on medium heat, 4-5 minutes until crispy. Cool.
  • 4
    Spread brioche slices liberally with butter. Layer in dish (trimming to fit) with 2 of the bananas and cooked bacon. Finish with a layer of brioche slices.
  • 5
    Carefully pour egg mixture over brioche, pressing slightly. Set aside 30 minutes to absorb. Preheat oven to moderate, 180C.
  • 6
    Cover dish with foil. Bake 50 minutes. Remove foil and bake a further 10-15 minutes until cooked when tested (the tip of a knife will be clean when removed from the centre). Set aside 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a medium frying pan cook remaining bacon on high, 4-5 minutes until crispy, adding remaining sliced banana and maple syrup for final 2 minutes.
