Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 24

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1/3 cup (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) butter, at room temperature, plus more butter for cooking toast
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 apples, peeled, small dice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon butter
3 eggs
1/4 cup 35 percent cream (whipping cream)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
1/2 cup 35 percent cream (whipping cream)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • For the banana bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper; spray the parchment.
  • Cream the butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 5 minutes. Add eggs and mix for another 3 minutes, then add the bananas, yogurt and vanilla. Mix on low for 2 minutes, then add the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and mix until everything is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add batter to prepared pan (it should fill the pan three-quarters of the way) and bake until a tester comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes.
  • Take loaf out of pan and put on a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
  • For the apple compote: Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to a pot over medium heat. Warm until sugar is dissolved, 5 minutes. Add butter and mix until the butter is melted and the sugar is bubbling, 2 minutes. Take pot off heat and let cool. Serve cold.
  • For the egg wash: Mix eggs, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl with a whisk until everything is incorporated.
  • For the whipped cream: Beat the cream together with the powdered sugar with a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on 4th speed until nice and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Cut three 1/2-inch-thick slices of the banana bread and dip in the egg wash. Put in a hot frying pan with butter in it. Turn heat to medium and cook until golden brown, 3 minutes per side. Take off heat and cut the slices corner to corner into triangles. Make a circle with the 6 pieces so there is a little hole in the middle. Fill the hole with 2 tablespoons prepared apple compote and add 3 little pillows of whipped cream around the plate. Add some maple syrup (local syrup is best) and dust some powdered sugar on top. Enjoy!
