1 tsp vanilla essence
150ml milk
1 baguette, sliced, or 4 slices of bread — it can be a little stale

Method
Beat the eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk together. Pour into a flat dish so the bread can steep easily.
Lay the slices of bread into the dish, turn them over after about 10 minutes to ensure they are well soaked.
While the bread is soaking, caramelise the banana by mixing the honey, vanilla, and sugar into the warm water.
Heat the butter in a pan and fry the bananas until they are golden on each side. Add the honey mixture and allow to bubble gently for a minute or two then remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large heavy base pan over a medium heat. Fry the bread until golden on each side. Serve hot with the banana and some natural yoghurt.
