Grilled banana bread with fruit

Peter Ong, owner of ‘Baked in Amsterdam’, bakes the most amazing chocolate chip cookies in Amsterdam. And his banana bread? Impossible to resist. Especially when you spread the slices with butter and grill them in the oven for a moment.

Method

Mix two teaspoons of sugar with the juice and zest of half a lemon and the strawberries (or other fruit). Leave this mixture in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Take two slices of banana bread and place them on an oven rack in a preheated oven (200 degrees).

Melt a spoonful of salted butter, spread it over the lightly caramelized banana bread and return it to the oven.

When the bread is beautifully golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a moment.

Serve with the fruit mixture from the refrigerator and a spoonful of crème fraîche.
