Method
- Heat the compote ingredients (saving a little zest) in a pan over a medium-high heat for 5-6 mins until the sugar has dissolved and the cranberries are beginning to soften. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high and lay the bacon on a nonstick baking tray. Grill for 6-8 mins, flipping halfway. Brush both sides with maple syrup, then grill for 1-2 mins more to crisp up. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs, milk and icing sugar in a wide bowl. Melt a little of the butter in a pan over a medium-high heat, then dip 3 pane-toastie slices in the beaten egg, submerging for 5 secs on each side. Fry for 2-3 mins each side or until crisp and golden. Transfer to a plate and stack to keep warm, then repeat with the remaining pane-toastie slices.
- Divide the toasts among plates, then top with a dollop of crème fraîche, the cranberry compote and the crispy bacon. Garnish with the reserved icing sugar and orange zest to serve.
- Tip: The cranberry compote can be made up to 3 days ahead: keep chilled in an airtight container and reheat to serve.
