Sunny side up

Fried bananas by M Viljoen


Eggs and fried bananas. Not pictured is the organic bacon roasting in the oven. The Frenchman remained unconvinced. I grew up with bananas for breakfast as a special treat. Perhaps it is an acquired taste. Is it South African?

  1. I love eggs like this, though never tried it with bananas. You make everything look so good.

  2. Here I thought my husband was the only person who roasts bacon in the oven. Can definitely imagine the bananas with eggs being good, especially since I don't mind when maple syrup get over mine. One of my favorites is a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. "Thank you very much.":)

  3. OMG! Heaven! I, too, grew up enjoying fried bananas, and have made a believer out of my once skeptical husband. Has M. Beence been convinced?

  4. Bananas are fantastic fried, I just don't necessarily like dipping them into egg yoke... ;-) I draw the line with marmite!

  5. I like the banana and bacon combo, rather than with the eggs, but as you can see, I don't mind if they touch.

    Monica, I like the roasting 'cos then there's nos pattering and smoke on top of the stove. And the pieces stay super-straight! Also nice to add herbs like thyme, which pop and jumpo in the pan, stovetop.

  6. Have you ever had a banana and sour cream omelet? Don't laugh until you've tried it.

  7. Perfect eggs. Don't remember frying bananas. Maybe it was Marie thing.

  8. Hen - but then where did I get the idea from? Maybe Francois?

  9. Nope, not just South African. Grew up with bacon, eggs, grilled tomato and fried banana. Yum! Haven't had it in so long - I miss it!

  10. I love fried banana! Have wonderful memories of "skottle-braai" breakfasts camping in the Drankensburg when we were young. I agree that cooking bacon in the oven is the way to go. I could never get the bacon crispy on the hob without burning it. I also love roasting cherry tomatoes with olive oil and fresh rosemary to go with everything. Delicious!
