Method

• In a small bowl, mix the custard with a pinch of the Italian herbs and a pinch of salt for a touch of savory flavor.

• In the same skillet, lightly toast the slices of sponge cake until they reach a golden-brown texture.
• Arrange the sponge cake slices on a serving plate, and top each with slices of banana.
• Drizzle the custard mixture over the banana and sponge cake.
• Sprinkle the toasted almond flakes on top for a delightful crunch.
• Finish with a light sprinkle of additional Italian herbs for garnish.

Tips
