French Toast

Candied Pecans

Caramel Sauce

Bruleed Bananas

Cinnamon Honey Butter

Garnish

Method

French Toast Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Custard

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Set aside.

Candied Pecans Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Pecans

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the pecan halves, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until the pecans are golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

Caramel Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Caramel

    In a saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the butter and heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.

Bruleed Bananas Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bananas

    Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and place them cut side up on a heat-resistant surface. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.

  2. 7

    Brulee the Bananas

    Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on the bananas until golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, place the bananas under the broiler for a couple of minutes to achieve the same effect.

Cinnamon Honey Butter Preparation

  1. 8

    Mix the Butter

    In a bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, and cinnamon. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, stack the French toast slices, drizzle with caramel sauce, top with candied pecans, bruleed bananas, and a dollop of cinnamon honey butter. Finish with powdered sugar and whipped cream as desired.
