Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare French Toast

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Cook the dipped brioche slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Caramelize Bananas

    In the same skillet, add remaining tablespoon of butter and brown sugar. Stir until melted and bubbly. Slice the bananas and add them to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bananas are softened.

  4. 4

    Flame with Rum

    Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet. Allow it to ignite, then gently swirl the pan until the flames subside.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the French toast topped with the caramelized bananas and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
