Best Spiced Banana Honey French Toast Recipes

SPICY SPIKED BANANA FRENCH TOAST

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.

BANANA HONEY TOAST

Steps:

• Toast two slices of whole grain bread.
• If desired, spread one tablespoon butter on each slice of toast.
• Spread one tablespoon honey on each slice of toast.
• Cut one medium ripe banana into even slices; layer the banana slices over each piece of toast.
• Sprinkle toast with ground cinnamon to taste.
• Enjoy, perhaps with a mug of hot green tea.

FETA CHEESE FRENCH TOAST WITH SPICED HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Place stale bread in a shallow dish just large enough to tightly fit the slices in one layer.
• Whisk eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cayenne, and heavy cream for batter together in a bowl and pour over bread slices. Use tongs to toss to coat evenly. If there's excess batter pooling at the bottom of the dish, spoon it over the top of the bread slices.
• Wrap and refrigerate until bread has absorbed all the batter or is fully saturated, 2 to 12 hours.
• To make the honey syrup, combine honey, water, chili flakes, and salt in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir and bring to a simmer, then cook for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and reserve until needed.
• Remove bread from the refrigerator and press sliced feta into the top of each piece; about 2 tablespoons feta should almost cover the surface of each piece.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place in the bread, cheese-side down. Cook until the cheese has caramelized and the surface is well browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the slices over, reduce heat to medium, and cook the other side until golden brown.
• Serve immediately with the honey syrup spooned over top.

EASY BANANA FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Mash the banana in a shallow bowl with a fork; mix it until most lumps disappear.
• Scramble both eggs into the bowl along with the spices and vanilla extract.
• Preheat a griddle or frying pan.
• Use cooking spray or butter.
• Dip slices of bread in mixture and transfer to pan.
• Cook both sides until done.

BANANA-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F.
• Cut banana into 1/4-inch-thick slices and in a bowl whisk together half-and-half, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut bread slices horizontally almost in half, leaving 1 edge intact. Stuff each pocket with 4 to 6 banana slices (do not overstuff). In a baking dish just large enough to hold bread slices in one layer, arrange slices and pour custard over them. Soak slices, turning them over once or twice to allow bread to absorb all liquid, about 15 minutes.
• In a 12-inch non-stick skillet melt butter over low heat until foam subsides and cook slices until golden, about 5 minutes on each side.
• Dust French toast with confectioners' sugar and serve with syrup.
