Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
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:

  • 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.
  • 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.
