Banana Nut French Toast with Caramel Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick-cut bread
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated on both sides.
- Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bananas and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Cook until the bananas are caramelized and the sugar has melted, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and remove from heat.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened to a caramel consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- To serve, place the French toast on plates, top with the caramelized bananas and walnuts, and drizzle with the caramel sauce. Enjoy!
Banana Nut French Toast with a caramel drizzle is a decadent breakfast dish that has become a favorite in brunch spots across the country. This indulgent twist on the classic French toast features thick slices of bread soaked in a rich custard mixture and then topped with ripe bananas and crunchy nuts. The addition of a luscious caramel drizzle takes this dish to the next level, adding a sweet and buttery finish. The history of this dish can be traced back to innovative chefs and home cooks who sought to elevate traditional French toast with creative toppings and flavors. The caramel drizzle adds a luxurious touch, infusing each bite with a delightful sweetness. In terms of the best places to enjoy this dish, brunch spots in cosmopolitan cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are known for serving up exceptional versions of Banana Nut French Toast with a caramel drizzle. However, many local diners and cafes also offer their unique take on this indulgent breakfast treat. When it comes to making this dish at home, the key is to use high-quality bread that can soak up the custard without becoming soggy. Sourdough or brioche bread are popular choices for their rich flavor and sturdy texture. Additionally, ripe bananas and a generous sprinkling of chopped nuts add both flavor and texture to the dish. For those looking to switch things up, an alternative method for making this dish involves stuffing the French toast with a creamy banana filling before cooking it to golden perfection. This adds an extra layer of indulgence to the dish, making it a standout option for special occasions or leisurely weekend brunches.
