A delightful twist on classic French toast, featuring caramelized bananas and a hint of vanilla.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved for even flavor distribution.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
Use just enough butter to coat the pan to prevent sticking.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, and place it in the pan.
Dip the bread quickly to avoid it becoming too soggy.
Cook the bread for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Keep the cooked slices warm in a low oven if needed.
Slice the bananas and sauté them in the same pan until caramelized.
Cook the bananas until they are golden and slightly softened.
Serve the French toast topped with caramelized bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
