How to Make Bananas Foster French Toast
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice bread into 4 slices, about 1-inch thick.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Soak each bread slice in the batter for 1-1 1/2 minutes per side, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the soaked bread slices to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Once browned on both sides, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until puffed and slightly firm.
- While the French toast bakes, prepare the Bananas Foster syrup:
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Stir until the mixture becomes syrupy, about 2-3 minutes. Add 2 ripe bananas, sliced, and toss gently until heated through (about 1 minute).
- Once the French toast is baked, spoon the Bananas Foster syrup generously over the top.
- Garnish with chopped pecans and serve immediately.
