🍞 What You’ll Need

For the French Toast:

  • 6 slices of thick-cut brioche or challah bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter, for cooking

For the Bananas Foster Topping:

  • 2 ripe (but firm) bananas, sliced diagonally
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp dark rum (optional but traditional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Make the French Toast Batter

In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.

2. Soak the Bread

Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, allowing it to soak for 10–15 seconds per side.

3. Cook the French Toast

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a knob of butter and cook the soaked bread slices for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp on the outside, soft inside. Keep warm.

4. Prepare the Bananas Foster Topping

In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Let it bubble gently until smooth and syrupy (about 2 minutes).

Add sliced bananas and cook for 1–2 minutes until softened but not mushy.

Carefully pour in the rum (if using) and flambé (ignite carefully if you’re comfortable), or simmer to cook off the alcohol. Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
