French Toast with Bananas Recipe

French Toast with Bananas Recipe

  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon light or dark rum
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 slices good white bread, preferably sourdough
  • 4 bananas, peeled and cut into ¾-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Confectioners’ sugar
  1. Mix together the egg, yolk, vanilla, rum, sugar, and half-and-half in a broad, shallow bowl. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Put each slice of the bread in the batter and, when the butter foam subsides, cook the bread until nicely browned on both sides, in batches if necessary.
  2. Meanwhile, put the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in another nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, cook the banana pieces, turning frequently and sprinkling them with the brown sugar, until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Cover each piece of French toast with a portion of the bananas and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Serve hot.
