• Eggs
• Heavy cream
• Honey
• Ripe bananas
• Vanilla
• Cinnamon
• Thick sliced bread

Step By Step Instructions:

1. Whisk the eggs, cream, honey, banana, vanilla, and cinnamon in a small bowl that is wide enough to dip your bread. Set aside.
2. Melt a little butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Dip the bread into your egg mixture and place in your skillet. Cook until both sides are golden brown.
4. Looking for a freezer friendly version? Make these into french toast sticks!

Tips Perfect French Toast:

• Use day old bread. We lay thick slices of bread out on a tray overnight. The dried bread soaks up more of the custard before cooking.
• Use really ripe bananas. Brown bananas are sweet and add a bold flavor.
• Use different breads for an entirely new flavor.
