  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
  • Icing sugar (for dusting)
For the Caramelized Bananas:

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs, ½ cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of honey, and ½ teaspoon of salt until smooth.
  2. Dip each slice of banana bread into the custard mixture, soaking for about 30 seconds on each side.
  3. In a frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked banana bread slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. In another pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, cooking until the bananas are golden and caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Plate the cooked French toast and top with the caramelized bananas. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use day-old banana bread for better absorption of the custard.
  • Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Add a sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon for seasonal variations.
