Make decadent, restaurant-quality French toast topped with perfectly sweet, sticky caramelized bananas. This recipe transforms your breakfast into a special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 thick slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 ripe but firm bananas, sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 20-30 seconds per side for custard-like results.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set the cooked French toast aside and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  5. Add the sliced bananas and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over them.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the sugar melts and coats the bananas in a rich, thick caramel sauce.
  7. Arrange the caramelized bananas over the warm French toast slices.
  8. Dust lightly with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread; it absorbs the custard better without falling apart.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the French toast. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Watch the caramel closely; brown sugar burns quickly. Keep the heat steady.
