What Type of Bread is used for French Toast?
For this recipe I chose Texas Toast but Brioche, Challah, French Baguette or Sourdough are all great choices. Just ensure your selection of bread is preferably slightly sweet and substantial enough to absorb the custard. This is important for great french bread.
Ingredients for Banana Foster French Toast
Bananas, Brown Sugar, Butter, Cinnamon, Banana Liqueur, Rum, Bread, Butter, Milk, Eggs, Sugar, Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Salt
Step for Making Banana Foster French Toast
Step 1: Mixing the French Toast Batter
In a small bowl, combine nutmeg, sugar, cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients until well blended. In another dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Step 2: Preparation of French Toast Slices
Dip each slice of bread into the prepared batter, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Place the soaked slices on a wire rack to allow any excess batter to drip off, ensuring the perfect texture when cooked.
Step 3: Cooking the French Toast
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Place the coated bread in the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until they are golden-brown. Once done, set aside the French toast slices.
Step 4: Making the Banana Foster
For the Banana Foster topping, start by cutting the bananas into slices. Heat a pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add brown sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Incorporate the banana slices and cook until they begin to simmer.
Carefully add the rum and banana liqueur to the banana mixture. Be cautious, as the alcohol might ignite when added to the hot pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for a bit, allowing the flavors to meld and the bananas to soften.
Serving the Culinary Masterpiece
Once the Banana Foster has reached its perfect consistency, spoon it generously over the prepared French toast slices, allowing the warm, sweet, and cinnamon-infused flavors to meld.
This indulgent breakfast treat brings together the comforting cinnamon flavors of French toast with the rich sweet brown sugar caramelized Banana Foster, creating a breakfast sensation that’s both comforting and luxurious.
Enjoy this delightful creations on your next breakfast table along with a breakfast casserole, shrimp and grit or chicken and waffles. Savor each bite that combines the soft, flavorful French toast with the warm, caramelized bananas for a breakfast experience that’s truly unforgettable.
