French Toast

Banana Rum Flambe Sauce

Method

Preparation of French Toast

  1. 1

    Mix Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Let them soak for a minute to absorb the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the soaked bread slices to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Preparation of Banana Rum Flambe Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt Butter and Add Bananas

    In the same skillet used for the French toast, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas and brown sugar. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas are soft and the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 5

    Add Rum and Flambe

    Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet. Allow it to heat for a few seconds, then use a long lighter or match to ignite the rum. Stand back as the flames rise, and let it burn for about 1 minute until the flames subside.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the cinnamon and remove the skillet from heat once the flames have gone out. The sauce should be thick and caramelized.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate French Toast

    Place a slice of the French toast on a plate, then spoon the banana rum flambe sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately.
