Ingredients

Banana-Rum Sauce

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 4 bananas, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices

French Toast

  • 3 whole eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 slices thick-sliced bread

Steps

  • 1
    In 10-inch skillet with lid, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and pepper flakes; beat with whisk until brown sugar melts into butter. Remove skillet from heat. Beat in rum with whisk until smooth. Cover; set aside.

    In large bowl, beat whole eggs and egg yolks with whisk until blended. Add milk, cream and vanilla; beat with whisk until blended.
  • 3
    In another 10-inch or a 12-inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter over medium heat. Working in batches, dip bread slices into egg mixture, turning to coat; place in skillet. Cook about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. (Add additional butter if needed for each batch).

    While French Toast is cooking, add sliced bananas to brown sugar-rum mixture. Cook over medium-low heat about 2 minutes, tossing gently, until bananas are softened.

    Transfer French Toast to individual plates. Top with Banana-Rum Sauce.
