Supplies
- 500 milliliters whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 orange, zested
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 loaf Brioche bread, cut into thick slices, about 400g

Steps
- Make the pain perdu mix by whisking the milk, eggs, orange zest, vanilla paste, honey and cinnamon powder and set aside
- Place a pan onto a high heat and add the sugar. Let it dissolve to a light caramel and add in the sliced banana. Add a small knob of butter and a dusting of cinnamon. Cook until golden and caramelized and remove from the pan
