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

Method
Banana brioche bake
- 1Lightly grease an 18x25cm (6 cup) deep rectangle baking dish.
- 2In a jug, whisk eggs, cream, milk, vanilla and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Set aside.
- 3Roughly chop half the bacon. In a frying pan, cook chopped bacon on medium heat, 4-5 minutes until crispy. Cool.
- 4Spread 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.
- 5Carefully pour egg mixture over brioche, pressing slightly. Set aside 30 minutes to absorb. Preheat oven to moderate, 180C.
- 6Cover 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.
- 7Meanwhile, 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.
- 8Serve bake dusted with icing sugar and topped with maple bacon banana mixture.
Notes
If you don’t have brioche, try using fruit bread, croissants or sliced scones.
