For the French Toast

In a large shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk lightly until fully combined.

Over medium heat, spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Place the slices of bread in the egg mixture and let soak on each side for a few seconds. Sprinkle in more cinnamon to the mixture as needed (I find that a lot of the cinnamon gets stuck on the side of the dish sometimes).

Cook the bread in the skillet for ~4 minutes on each side or until it’s nice and golden brown. Set aside.

For the Banana Topping

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once melted, mix in the brown sugar, vanilla, rum and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and then add in the bananas and nuts.

Cook the bananas for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until they’re caramelized on both sides. Be sure to watch the pan and gently move the bananas around a little so that they don’t stick.

Spread the bananas evenly across the tops of the French toast. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and ENJOY!

Notes

If you happen to have leftovers, store the French toast and topping separately. Each will keep well in airtight containers, in the fridge, for up to about 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Thick-Cut Bread 🍞
Use brioche or challah bread cut 1-inch thick to prevent sogginess while allowing proper egg custard absorption and achieving a crispy, caramelized exterior.
Caramelize Bananas Separately 🍌
Cook the bananas foster topping in a separate skillet before plating to control caramelization intensity and prevent the banana mixture from making your French toast soggy.
Temper Your Egg Mixture 🥚
Let your egg custard sit for 5 minutes after whisking to allow the bread to soak evenly, then briefly re-whisk before dipping to ensure consistent coating and custardy interior.
Butter Your Pan Generously 🧈
Use real butter (not cooking spray) and add a fresh pat before each batch to develop a rich, golden-brown crust and enhance the premium flavor profile.
Flame the Rum Properly 🔥
When making bananas foster, ignite the rum in your pan away from your face to burn off excess alcohol while developing deeper caramel notes and ensuring food-safe results.
