How to Make Bananas Foster French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice bread into 4 slices, about 1-inch thick.
  2. 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.
  3. Soak each bread slice in the batter for 1-1 1/2 minutes per side, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the soaked bread slices to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  6. Once browned on both sides, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until puffed and slightly firm.
  7. While the French toast bakes, prepare the Bananas Foster syrup:
  8. 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.
  9. Stir until the mixture becomes syrupy, about 2-3 minutes. Add 2 ripe bananas, sliced, and toss gently until heated through (about 1 minute).
  10. Once the French toast is baked, spoon the Bananas Foster syrup generously over the top.
  11. Garnish with chopped pecans and serve immediately.
