Ingredients
- 4 lices banana bread 2.5 cm, at least 1 inch in thickness
- 2 large egg
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
- icing sugar for dusting over French toast
Caramelized Bananas
- 2 large banana sliced
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
Instructions
- In a 8x8 cake pan add the eggs, heavy cream, honey, salt and whisk together well.
- Place a skillet on your stove over medium-low heat, add 1 tbsp of the butter and melt.
- While butter is melting soak 2 of the banana bread slices in the egg mixture, turn over after 30 seconds and soak on the other side for another 30 seconds.
- Once the butter is melted and skillet is hot, add the 2 slices to the skillet and cook for about 3 or 4 minutes. After 3 or 4 minutes take a peek and see if the French toast is golden brown, if it has flip each slice carefully and continue cooking until this side is golden brown, another 3 or so minutes, making sure to watch it closely so it doesn't burn. Remove from skillet.
- Soak the remaining 2 slices of bread and repeat the process to cook these last 2 slices.
- In the same skillet, prepare the caramelized bananas. Add the 2 tbsp of butter and wait until it melts then sprinkle the tbsp of brown sugar over the surface of the skillet.
- Add the banana slices over the brown sugar, and cook for a couple minutes until the bottom of the banana get golden brown. Flip each slice over and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Dust the banana bread French toast with some icing sugar then spoon the caramelized bananas over the slices and serve.

Notes
- You can certainly whisk the eggs and the heavy cream in a bowl, but it's easier to soak the banana bread slices in a 8x8 cake pan vs a bowl.
- Store leftovers either in an airtight container, a freezer bag, or wrapped in plastic in the fridge up to 2 days. They can be reheated in the microwave, a skillet, or in a toaster.
- If you'd like to freeze the leftovers, stack the French toast with a piece of parchment paper between each slice. Store them either in an airtight container or a large freezer bag. They will last up to 2 months. Microwave or a toaster will work best for reheating.
