Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. Place the bread slices in the egg mixture, letting them soak for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the soaked bread slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
  5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet.
  6. Add the sliced bananas and brown sugar. Cook, stirring gently, for 3-5 minutes, until the bananas are softened and caramelized.
  7. Serve the French toast topped with the caramelized bananas and maple syrup. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use a combination of milk and half-and-half.
  • Ensure your bananas are ripe but not overly mushy for the best caramelization.
  • You can add a splash of rum or bourbon to the caramelizing bananas for an adult twist.
