Cinnamon French Toast Recipe

Mix the batter

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

Soak the bread

Dip each slice of sourdough bread in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

Cook the French toast

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter. Cook the soaked bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Prepare the sauce

In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved.

Add bananas

Slice bananas and add them to the skillet. Cook gently until they are warm and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.

Flambé (optional)

Carefully add rum to the pan and ignite if desired. Let the flames subside.

In a dry skillet, toast pecans over medium heat, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Whip the cream

In a bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Plate the French toast, top with banana foster, sprinkle with toasted pecans, and add a dollop of sweetened cream.
