Sunday Brunch

You can always count on Waitrose for a delicious recipe and this was no exception. 
Family brunches have become a regular occurrence recently and this was up there with the best.

Banana and blueberry eggy bread.
Essentially bread and butter pudding, but for breakfast. 
This really does set you up for the rest of the day and as breakfast is the most important meal of the day, how can you resist?! 



To serve 4, all you need is:
- 2 bananas, each halved and sliced lengthways
- 8 slices Brioche loaf
- 100g blueberries
- 4 tbsp clear honey
- 4 large eggs
- 150ml milk
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 15g butter
- Icing sugar to dust


Arrange the slices of banana on the 4 brioche slices and scatter the blueberries on top.
Drizzle with honey, then place a slice of brioche on top. 



Place the eggs in a shallow dish with the milk and cinnamon. Place all 4 brioche sandwiches in the eft mixture and leave for 5 minutes to soak. 


Turn over and repeat for the other side. Keep turning until each sandwich is soaked and the egg has been used up. 


Heat the butter in a large frying pan (I was using the AGA so placed baking parchment on the top plates). Gently cook the brioche sandwiches for 3-4 minutes until each side is golden brown. 


Serve while warm and dust with icing sugar. 


The perfect treat for a rainy Sunday morning, sure to brighten anyones day.
