Brioche French Toast with Bruleed Banana
Jacob LeungIngredients:
Serves: 4
- ¼ cup Nutella
- 8 thick slices of brioche
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 vanilla bean, scraped
- 40g butter
- 2 lady finger bananas
- 2 Tablespoons caster sugar
- 160g unsalted butter
- ¼ cup pistachios, chopped
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- Edible flowers to garnish
- Ice cream to serve
Method:
- Evenly spread the Nutella over 4 slices of the brioche. Top with the remaining slices of brioche.
- In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla. Dip the brioche sandwiches in the egg mix and allow to soak for 2 minutes.
- In a frypan over medium heat add butter. Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble add one brioche sandwich. Cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches until all cooked.
- While the french toast is cooking, slice the bananas lengthways with the skin on. Evenly sprinkle with caster sugar and, using a blow torch, brulee the top of each banana until the sugar melts and crystallizes. Alternatively place the bananas under a grill on high for 6 minutes.
- To serve, place a piece of french toast on a serving plate alongside half a bruleed banana. Top with chopped pistachios, maple syrup, edible flowers and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
