- 5 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of bourbon or dark rum
For the French toast:
- 1 whole bread loaf, sliced in 1-inch-thick slices
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp butter
- Powdered sugar
Preparation
For the Bananas Foster:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add butter and brown sugar and cook for about 4 min until butter has melted and mixed with the brown sugar.
- Add the sliced bananas and cook until the bananas are soft and lightly cooked, about 3 minutes.
- Carefully add the bourbon or rum and flambé or cook for a few extra minutes to allow alcohol to evaporate.
For French Toast:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
- Melt butter in a small pan with medium heat.
- Dip each slice of toast one at a time into the eggs mixture for about 3 seconds per side and place in the hot non-stick pan.
- Cook on medium heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat.
- Place reserved Bananas Foster on top of the French toast and top with desired toppings like powdered sugar.
Topping Ideas:
Condensed milk, dulce de leche, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, white chocolate shavings, chocolate shavings, chopped strawberries, or walnuts.
