what to do with leftover easter goodies

Got any leftover 2-day old hot cross buns you don't know what to do with?  Cream?  Eggs?  Check this out - a 

Cardinal-Cyn-Made-Up-Post-Easter-Special.  Ho yes!  It's sort of a cross between French Toast, bread'n'butter pudding, and all things eggy and bready.

  

Amounts are sort of approximate, and can be very flexible.

Here I have broken up (no-longer)-hot cross buns in a baking pan;

Cooked off a bit of bacon; 


(Incidentally, this is Weight Watchers bacon, so this is healthy!  Yes it is!)

in the hot pan after the bacon has been cooked, add some chopped bananas and strawberries;


These don't need to cook for long - maybe 5 minutes

Get the bowl of cream and add 5 whipped eggs.


Also add a bit of maple syrup (about this much: glug, glug, glug) 

Add everything to the baking pan, cover and put in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

Slow bake @ 160 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until firm and brown.


If you can wait, let it sit for a few minutes. But we couldn't wait.


Yum!
