Equipment
- Skillet or non-stick pan
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices brioche bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
- salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided
- 2 bananas sliced
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Soak the Brioche: Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked brioche slices to the skillet, cooking until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a warm plate.
- Caramelize the Bananas: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and brown sugar. Once the sugar begins to melt, add the sliced bananas, cooking until they are golden and coated with a caramel-like syrup, about 3 minutes.
- Serve: Place the French toast on plates, top with the caramelized bananas, and garnish with powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and fresh berries if desired.
