Banana french toast ingredients:
- Eggs
- Heavy cream
- Honey
- Ripe bananas
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Thick sliced bread
How to make banana french toast:
-
Whisk the eggs, cream, honey, banana, vanilla, and cinnamon in a small bowl that is wide enough to dip your bread. Set aside.
-
Melt a little butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Dip the bread into your egg mixture and place in your skillet. Cook until both sides are golden brown.
Tips Perfect French Toast:
- Use old bread. We lay thick slices of bread out on a tray overnight. The dried bread soaks up more of the custard before baking.
- Use really ripe bananas. Brown bananas are sweet and add a bold flavor.
