This recipe is by Jamie Oliver and can be eaten for breakfast or even as a dessert. Feel free to vary to fruit, strawberries and blackberries also work particularly well.
Optional: icing sugar, for dusting
1 small banana
A handful of blueberries
1 large egg, preferably free-range or organic
1 tablespoon golden caster sugar
2 slices of medium-cut white bread
10g butter, at room temperature
Low-fat Greek yoghurt, to serve
Peel the banana and mash in a bowl
Add the blueberries and lightly crush
Crack the eggs into a separate shallow bowl, add the sugar and beat with a fork
Put the slices of bread in the sweet egg mixture, and turn after approximately 1 minute so they soak up the egg mixture on both sides
Pick up the bread and let the excess egg drip off, then pop on a plate
Smear most of your fruit mixture onto one slice, leaving a little gap around the edges
Put the other slice on top and press down with a fish slice to help them stick together
Put a frying pan on a medium heat and add a knob of butter
Once melted, add the eggy sandwich and press down with the fish slice to make sure it’s in even contact with the pan
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, then lift up with a fish slice to check it’s golden brown on the bottom
When it’s looking good, flip over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crisp
Transfer to a plate and serve with a dollop of yoghurt or crème fraîche, and the remaining fruit mixture spooned over the top
Dust with icing sugar, if you like
