Bourbon Banana French Toast

Bourbon Banana French Toast

I've been able to spend some time during this quarantine finally making some dishes that have been mulling around in my head for some time! This is one of them! If I could hand deliver a serving of this to each and every one of you, I would, that's how much I loved it! My kids no longer want french toast any other way and my husband said it was the best he's ever had. So I hope that gives you some confidence to give it a try! I also now have even more ideas on ways to use this banana bourbon caramel topping. (Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to see some other uses in the near future). I hope you are staying well and thank you again for your continued support! Brad and I were blown away again last week with the amount of orders that came in! I know our gals stay encouraged and hopeful because of you!

Ingredients:

French Toast:

  • 1 package brioche bread, sliced
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 + cups heavy cream (I started with one cup and then added a little more to thin it out a bit, except I forgot to measure it before I added it!)
  • 8 eggs
  • 4 oz bourbon
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • dash of salt

Banana Caramel Topping:

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced (not overly ripe though or they will get too mushy)
  • 1/2 c Caramel Kitchen bourbon caramel sauce, warmed

Directions:

  1. Heat skillet to medium
  2. In a medium bowl mash up 2 ripe bananas. Add cream and eggs and scramble together until well combined. Add bourbon, cinnamon, vanilla and salt, mix well.
  3. Pour egg mixture into a shallow dish and dip each slice of bread, both sides into it.
  4. Place coated bread on skillet and cook until bread begins to brown, flip and continue cooking on the other side. Repeat with remaining slices of bread.
  5. For the topping, pour the bourbon caramel sauce into a microwavable dish and gently heat.
  6. Add sliced bananas and stir to evenly coat.
  7. To serve, place two slices of french toast on each plate and spoon banana caramel mixture over the top. Add fresh whip cream if desired!
