Banana Bread French Toast

Recipe: Crispy Outside, Soft And Custardy Inside

Banana bread French toast is a soul-satisfying blend of two popular breakfast dishes. The banana bread slices are dipped in a custard mash of eggs, milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. They are then cooked to perfection, yielding delicious caramelised Danish-style toast with a soft custard filling and superb banana flavour. Unlike ordinary breads, banana bread has a naturally sweet flavour and a more delicate crumb; its slices soak up the custard mixture well without becoming too soggy or crumbling during cooking. The bread is definitely best when slightly aged, as it can maintain its shape while getting nicely crisp on the surface. This French toast is perfect for your breakfast or brunch any day of the week, and even for dessert when served with whipped cream or ice cream. Add maple syrup, bananas, berries, or nuts to finish it off. The recipe is an ideal way to turn your leftover homemade banana bread into a new dish.
