  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp dark rum (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and brown sugar until smooth. Soak each slice of bread in the mixture for about two minutes per side.
  2. Cook the French toast: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt some butter. Add soaked bread slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about three minutes each. Keep warm in a low oven.
  3. Make the caramelized banana sauce: In another skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until melted, then add sliced bananas and cook for about two minutes until tender.
  4. Add rum (optional): Carefully add dark rum to the banana mixture and flambé if desired.
  5. Serve: Place French toast on plates, top generously with caramelized bananas and sauce, then serve immediately with optional whipped cream or powdered sugar.
