French toast with crispy bacon & caramelised banana

We are back with another favourite camp breakfast. There are so many different toppings for French toast and when we camp, we use whatever we have available.

Put it on the table:

When we go camping, there is usually bacon in the fridge and fruit on our camp table. So, it wasn’t hard to decide what to put on top of our French toast.

Ingredients

4 slices of bread

3 eggs

250g streaky bacon

2 bananas

salt & pepper

We prepared the breakfast on our camping stove, but inside the ‘braai’ … that’s how you do it when you’re camping, right?

Everything happens very quickly during this breakfast, so make sure you have everything ready and on hand. First, the bacon is cooked in a little water in the cast iron pan and then fried until it is crispy.

After the banana has been cut into thick pieces, we quickly fry it in a little butter in the pan until it has caramelised.

I assume that most of you know how to make French toast. After I beat the eggs and add salt and pepper to taste, the slices of bread are dipped in the egg and then fried in the pan (with a little melted butter) until the egg is cooked.

All that’s left now is to put the bacon and caramelised banana on top of the French toast. Then we can enjoy a delicious breakfast while sitting next to our tent on the shores of the Inchara Lagoon at Morgan Bay.
