  • Total Time: 11 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Banana Bread French Toast

  • 4 slices banana bread
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and smooth, creating the custard base for the French toast.
  2. Dip banana bread slices: Submerge each slice of banana bread into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaked through to avoid sogginess.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, swirling to coat the entire cooking surface evenly.
  4. Cook the French toast: Lay the dipped banana bread slices onto the buttered skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
  5. Serve: Transfer to plates and serve warm, optionally topped with maple syrup or sliced bananas for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Serve with maple syrup or fresh sliced bananas to complement the natural sweetness.
  • Use slightly stale banana bread slices for better absorption of the custard mixture without falling apart.
  • Adjust cooking time for thicker slices to ensure they are cooked through.
