Anna’s Banana Foster French Toast | by Anna Kelley, Presidents' Quarters Inn - Savannah GA: Breakfast-Brunch

Servings: 12

Prep time:20 mins.

Ingredients:

• 

  1 loaf Thick French bread

• 

  8 oz Butter

• 

  2 cups Light brown sugar

• 

  3/4 cup Maple syrup

• 

  6 Bananas (large & ripe)

• 

  1 dozen Eggs

• 

  1 cup Milk

• 

  1 tablespoon Vanilla

• 

  2 teaspoons Cinnamon

Step 1:

Melt butter in large sauté pan. Once butter is melted, add light brown sugar and maple syrup. Use a wire whisk to help combine sugar, syrup, and butter.

Step 2:

Bring to a simmer and add sliced bananas. Reduce heat to low and cook bananas until soft but not mushy.

Step 3:

While bananas are cooking combine eggs with milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside until ready to cook bread. Slice French Bread.

Step 4:

Heat greased flat top griddle to 350 degrees (I use cooking spray like Pam). Dip each piece of bread into egg mixture and put on greased griddle. Let cook 3-4 minutes until golden brown and turn to cook other side.

Step 5:

Place on plate and top with warm banana topping and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with your favorite breakfast meats (sausage, bacon, or ham). Enjoy!
