Ingredients:
  • 2 bananas
  • 2 large free-range eggs
  • ½ a teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 2 slices of white bread
  • 25 g blanched hazelnuts
  • a small knob of unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 40 g dark chocolate (minimum 70% solids)
  • 2 teaspoons icing sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Greek-style yoghurt to serve
Instructions:
  • Peel the banana and slice it in half lengthwise. Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl, add vanilla and cinnamon, then whisk with a fork. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture, soaking for a couple of minutes and flipping halfway through. In a dry frying pan over medium heat, toast hazelnuts until golden, then crush in a mortar. Heat the butter (or 1 teaspoon of oil) in the pan. Place one egg-soaked bread slice in the pan and add chocolate, then top with the other slice. Cook bananas in the pan without moving for 2 minutes until golden. Carefully flip the bread and bananas and cook for another 2 minutes. Dust the sandwich with icing sugar, caramelize briefly, then transfer to a board to cut in half diagonally. Plate each half, top with caramelized banana, yogurt, and crushed hazelnuts.
