Enjoy gourmet-style French toast with sweet, caramelized bananas. This recipe is simple to make and perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick slices of challah or brioche bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
  4. Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. While the French toast is cooking, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the sliced bananas and brown sugar to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bananas are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Serve the caramelized bananas over the French toast.

Notes

  • For an extra special touch, you can sprinkle the French toast with powdered sugar or serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • Challah or brioche bread works best because its richness and density hold up well to the egg mixture.
