Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut brioche or challah bread

2 ripe bananas, sliced

2 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

2 tablespoons brown sugar (for caramelizing)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

    Caramelize the Bananas: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced bananas and sprinkle them with brown sugar. Cook gently, turning occasionally, until the bananas are caramelized and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Dip the Bread: Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Take one slice of brioche (or challah) and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let the excess egg mixture drip off.

        Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped bread into the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat this process for the remaining slices.

          Assemble the Dish: Once the French toast is cooked, top each slice with a generous portion of the caramelized bananas. Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness.

            Garnish and Serve: Add fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a hint of freshness, if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
