Ingredients

• 12 slices of bread
• 2 cups milk or evaporated milk
• 3 eggs
• 2 tbsp honey (or sugar/brown sugar works fine)
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (or more if you love the taste!)
• 1 -2 bananas, thinly sliced
• And some butter
• 1/2 tbsp ground nutmeg (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 170 celcius.

2. While that, butter both sides of the bread. After that, cut off the crusts. You can cut the bread into half or into triangles if you like, be creative! As long as you can line your dish evenly with it.

3. Whisk your eggs, milk, honey/sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg (optional) together in a bowl/jug.

4. Layer your bread in a dish evenly, top it off with a layer of banana slices.

5. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and set aside for at least 10 minutes so that the bread can soak up all those lovely ingredients!

6. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until puffed and golden.

7. If you like, like how I did it, cover it with a tin foil for the first 30 minutes and for the remaining 15 minutes take it off, this minimizes the risk of having burnt parts on the top :D

8. Let it sit for 10 minutes before cutting!

9. Best served hot with custard, or vanilla ice cream, or even both!
