Caramelised banana and eggs

I made this on a whim, for breakfast. One morning recently I had lightly fried eggs, on their own. I poured the remaining butter in the pan over them, and my partner, seeing the plate swimming in golden liquid, asked if I was having syrup on my eggs. That sounds naughty, I thought, but it's not a bad idea!

I caramelised some slices of banana in butter and a dash of maple syrup. Broke in a couple of eggs and let them cook slowly. Poured over all the butter and syrup, and a dash of cream. It was delicious - although when you don't eat much sweet stuff, it's amazing how phenomenally sweet a slice of fried banana can be. Not something to be indulged in on a daily basis, perhaps - though I used only half a small banana and maybe 5grams of syrup, so in actual fact it's not too terribly high on the carbs anyway.
