Bananas Foster French Toast
- Banana sauce ingredients
We chose a pan with a lid then melted the butter over medium heat.
Next, we added the brown sugar and whisked it into the melted butter, within a minute the sugar dissolved into the butter, giving us the base of our sauce.
Now, just to smooth things out even more, we added a couple tablespoons of water.
Then, we covered the sauce, took it off the heat and set it aside while we made the French toast.

We soaked slices of the brioche in a custard, here is how we made it. First, add 3 whole eggs.
Then, 3 egg yolks
Whisk both the whole eggs and yolks until smooth.
Now, add a 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of cream.
Next, one teaspoon of vanilla extract goes in
Whisk everything together, then prepare the brioche. Slice the bread into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Next, we found a pan large enough to fit the slices of bread. This just helped with keeping clean. Line the slices up so they are ready for the custard.
Now pour all of the custard over the slices of brioche. Allow the bread to soak up the custard, flipping the bread slices to make sure both sides of the bread are covered.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Add a slice (or two, depending on pan size) of the bread. Cook for about 3 minutes or until golden brown.
Since we were cooking each slice one-by-one, we kept our oven at 200 degrees F in order to keep each slice warm once cooked. This is a good trick for pancakes, too!
Now that all the bread has been cooked, we finish the sauce. Slice four bananas pretty thick so when added to the sauce they will not fall apart.
Add the bananas to the sauce from earlier. Place the pan over medium heat and cook for a few minutes.
