Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 8 slices Texas toast
- 2 bananas
Caramelization and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional)
Serving Ingredient:
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Craft a luscious egg bath by whisking together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a wide, shallow vessel until thoroughly integrated.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat, introducing a pat of salted butter until it sizzles gently. Submerge each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage without oversaturating.
- Grill each slice approximately 2-3 minutes per side, achieving a rich golden-brown complexion. Transfer cooked pieces to a foil-covered plate to maintain temperature.
- Without cleaning the skillet, melt additional butter and introduce banana slices. Allow them to caramelize undisturbed, developing a deep amber hue and creating a glossy surface.
- Artfully arrange golden French toast on serving plates, cascading caramelized banana segments across the surface.
- Enhance the presentation with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar and accompany with warm maple syrup for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Soak bread wisely by letting it absorb egg mixture briefly to prevent sogginess and maintain a crispy exterior.
- Choose ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and easier caramelization without extra sugar.
- Adjust heat carefully when cooking toast and bananas to prevent burning while achieving perfect golden-brown color.
- Customize recipe for dietary needs by using gluten-free bread, plant-based milk, and dairy-free butter alternatives for allergies or preferences.
