Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 loaf day-old brioche
3 large bananas
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the custard: Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk together. Add the sugar, cream, milk, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Trim the crust from the brioche, then cut it into a 4-by-6-inch cylinder. Place the brioche in a baking dish and cover with the custard. Let stand until the custard has soaked through all of the bread, at least 15 minutes; turn the bread occasionally with tongs to make sure it soaks evenly.
  • For the bananas: While the bread is soaking, peel and slice the bananas 1/2-inch thick. In a bowl, toss the bananas with the melted butter, pecans, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and 1/2 cup water and pour into a roasting pan.
  • For the French toast roast: When the bread has finished soaking, melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the soaked brioche with sugar and carefully place it, sugar side down, in the melted butter. Sprinkle the top with more sugar and sear the bread on all sides until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Carefully place the bread over the bananas and transfer to the oven for 15 minutes, or until the bread is caramelized. Remove from the oven, dust with powdered sugar, cut into 1-inch slices and serve with the banana mixture.

HEALTHY LOW-FAT BANANA FRENCH TOAST



Healthy Low-Fat Banana French Toast image

Mmm what a great french toast! I go wild when I cook sometimes, and this is definitely one of my experiments that worked for the better! Its good-for-you and good-for-your-taste-buds! This is softer then your classic french toast, but the yummy flavors are just too good to resist!

Provided by I Cant Believe Its

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 pieces of toast, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 egg whites (or 1 egg)
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1/2 a large banana)
1/2 cup skim milk
1 1/2 teaspoons melted reduced fat margarine (non-hydrogenated)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon banana extract (banana flavour)
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 -6 slices whole wheat bread, best if stale (Amount depends on how thick your bread is or how much you let it absorb. I use 6 pcs sandwich bread.)

Steps:

  • Preheat a greased griddle or frying pan (not too hot or they will burn before they cook).
  • Puree (in a food processor, blender, or smoothie maker) the mashed banana, milk, vanilla, and banana flavour until the banana is completely smooth with no lumps. Add melted margarine and egg whites and pulse until completely incorporated.
  • Sift the next 3 ingredients (flour through cinnamon) in a small bowl.
  • Transfer wet ingredients into a larger bowl, and whisk dry ingredients into wets, and ignore small flour lumps.
  • NOTE: Be sure to whisk batter before dipping each batch of toast. Also, dont add any extra banana or milk to the batter (it will result in soggy toast).
  • Dip each side of the toast in the batter for a couple of seconds, and allow some of the excess batter to drip off. (for the last piece of bread you will likely have to swab up the remaining batter. Don't worry if the toast tears, just stick it back together on the frying pan).
  • Cook each side just over a minute, or until browned to your desired colour.
  • Serve with lots of maple syrup. Refrigerate the leftovers and put them in the toaster the next day. OR cool on a cooking cooling rack, and when completely cool, wrap in foil and freeze. Warm in microwave then toast and enjoy!

BANANA FRENCH TOAST



Banana French Toast image

Why wait for the weekend to enjoy French toast when you can whip up this irresistible banana enriched breakfast in practically no time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup fat-free milk (skim)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt
1/2 tablespoon butter
4 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
1 banana
4 teaspoons pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • In a large shallow bowl, whisk together milk, egg, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  • Dip bread, one slice at a time, into egg mixture, pressing down so bread absorbs liquid. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place all 4 slices in skillet; cook 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, cut banana crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Divide bread between two plates; top with banana and syrup. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your French toast will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are smooth and creamy. This will help them to evenly distribute throughout the batter.
  • Add some spices: For a little extra flavor, add some spices to your batter. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all great choices.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: Cooking the French toast over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the French toast carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the French toast so that it doesn't break apart.

Conclusion:

Banana French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a stack of fluffy, flavorful banana French toast that will make your taste buds sing.
