How to Make Banana Bourbon French Toast
- **Make the Bourbon Banana Sauce:** In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until melted and smooth.
- Gently add the sliced bananas to the saucepan and simmer for 2 minutes, allowing them to soften and caramelize slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the bourbon (if using).
- Return the saucepan to low heat and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside, keeping warm.
- **Prepare the French Toast Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt until light and frothy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until well combined.
- **Cook the French Toast:** Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.
- Cook the bread slices in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- **Assemble and Serve:** Transfer two slices of French toast to each plate. Top with warm banana slices and a generous spoonful of bourbon banana sauce.
- Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
