Take a pre-made shortcrust pastry sheet and place it in a quiche dish.

Trim the edges of the pastry with a knife if it doesn't fit perfectly.

Wet the sides of the pastry with water to help it stick together.

Reconstruct any gaps in the pastry by patching it up with more pastry.

In a mixing bowl, crack 2 full eggs and 1 egg yolk; break them up a bit.

Add 50 grams of sugar to the eggs and mix well.

Pour in 10 cm of cream and 20 cl of milk; mix until combined.

Slice 3 or 4 ripe bananas into thin slices, not too thick or too thin.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).

Arrange the banana slices at the bottom of the pastry, avoiding overcrowding.

Optionally, add vanilla essence to the custard mixture before pouring it over the bananas.

Pour the custard mixture over the banana slices, ensuring some bananas are still visible.

Bake the tart in the oven for 30 minutes.

After baking, remove the tart from the oven; if the bananas look dull, brush them with a mixture of honey and hot water for shine.
