"Simple and fast, so you can knock it out while looking after the kids (because that's a very important part of mums getting breakfast in bed) unless you are the kids, in which case, it's still good!" -  Andrew Clarke, Victoria Street Bistro, Hamilton 

French toast with banana, feijoa and coconut yoghurt

1 banana
4 feijoas
½ cup coconut yoghurt
2 tablespoon coconut sugar
4 slices of brioche
2 eggs
4 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon butter, to fry
icing sugar, to dust
pinch salt

Combine 1 tablespoon coconut sugar with yoghurt and set aside. Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, remaining coconut sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Soak bread in the egg mixture then pan fry in butter over medium heat until golden on each side. Serve warm, topped with coconut yoghurt, sliced banana, scooped out feijoa, a drizzle of honey, and dust with icing sugar. Cup of tea optional. 

If you have a blow torch, sprinkle the banana with sugar and burn like a brulee. Garnish with edible flowers, if available.
