- Eggs
- Heavy cream
- Honey
- Ripe bananas
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Thick sliced bread
Step By Step Instructions:
- 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 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.
