Bacon & Banana French Toast


The boy loves Marmite. He spotted The Marmite Cookbook in a charity shop for £1.99. He’s sweetly anxious that we make something from it.  We only have breakfast at weekends, when we are going to be spending the day in museums.

4 rashers unsmoked back bacon
4 slices rustic white bread – a day old
Marmite for spreading
2 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
Pinch of cinnamon
2 medium free range eggs
50ml milk
50g butter

The boy has just woken up and is in a T shirt and boxers. He’s got his priorities right as he has the coffee going.

Grill the bacon until crisp. Spread one (thick) slice of bread with marmite and then some banana. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and then 2 pieces of crispy bacon. Add the other slice of bread and press down firmly. By now the boy is looking very lovingly at this. You are looking very lovingly at him in his boxers.

Do the same for your sandwich.

Whisk the eggs and milk. Dip both sides of the sandwich in the mix. Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook on each side until golden.

Serve with coffee and Radio 4. Make the most of every minute until he gets dressed.
