How to Make Banana Bread French Toast

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract using a fork until light and frothy.
  2. Set the egg mixture aside.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. The butter is ready when it's melted and foamy but not browned.
  4. Slice the banana bread into 4 thick slices (approximately 1 inch thick).
  5. Dip each slice of banana bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the bread soak for about 15-20 seconds per side.
  6. Carefully place the soaked banana bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Serve immediately. Top with your favorite additions such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate chips.
