Griddled French Toast
Method
Preparation
- 1

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

Cook the French Toast
In a large skillet or griddle, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the coated bread slices in batches and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

Candy the Pecans
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and chopped pecans. Stir continuously until sugar melts and coats the pecans, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Grill the Bananas
In the same skillet, add sliced bananas and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and caramelized.

Serve
Stack the French toast on plates, top with grilled bananas, candied pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup.
