Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices banana bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Butter for skillet cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the custard mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create the flavorful custard base.
- Dip the banana bread slices: Carefully dip each slice of banana bread into the egg mixture allowing it to soak for a few seconds to absorb enough custard without falling apart.
- Cook on skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Place the soaked banana bread slices on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm, topped with fresh banana slices and drizzled with syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Use slightly stale banana bread for better soaking and texture.
- Adjust cinnamon amount to taste or add a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread before cooking through.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
