- Mix the eggs, milk and maple syrup and pour the mixture into a large flat tray (like a deep baking tray). Soak the brioche slices into the egg mixture evenly, 5mins each side.
- Cook the bacon while soaking the toast, lay the bacon on the cold pan (without oil) then cook on a medium heat for 5mins each or until the bacon get golden and crispy. Add a generous amount of black pepper and a pinch of salt, before you set them aside and keep warm.
- Melt the butter in the pan and cook the toast until golden on each side. Serve with crispy bacon and a drizzle of maple syrup.
