Method
- 1
Lay the bacon on a baking tray and grill or bake at 200°C (180°C fan) for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until crisp.
11 min - 2
Beat the eggs, milk, cinnamon and salt together in a shallow dish until smooth.
- 3
Melt half the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Soak 2 slices of bread in the egg for about 20 seconds per side, so it soaks in but the bread does not fall apart.
- 4
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until deep golden and puffed. Keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the rest of the butter and bread.
5 min - 5
Pile the eggy bread on plates, top with the bacon and drizzle with maple syrup.
