Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 medium ripe banana mashed
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.13 tsp fine salt
- 0.06 tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah) day-old works best
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter for the pan
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup for serving
- 1 medium banana sliced, for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Mash the ripe banana in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
- Whisk in eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small pat of butter.
- Pour the custard into a shallow dish. Dip each bread slice for 10–15 seconds per side until coated.
- Cook soaked bread 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and set. Add more butter as needed.
- Hold finished toast in a 200°F oven. Top with sliced banana and drizzle with maple syrup to serve.
Notes
Variation ideas: Use coconut milk for a tropical twist, or stir 1 tbsp peanut butter into the custard. For extra flair, caramelize the topping bananas in a little butter and brown sugar. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days or freeze cooked slices between parchment for 1 month; reheat in a toaster or 350°F oven.
