Rum-Glazed Banana French Toast Recipe

A Decadent Brunch Fit for a Pirate

This indulgent recipe is inspired by the swashbuckling adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow. With its rich flavors and satisfying crunch, it’s a culinary treasure worth discovering.

The Recipe

Serves 3-4:

• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pinches ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons rum
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 large bananas, sliced thinly on an angle
• 4 slices of brioche, challah, or cinnamon raisin bread (whole wheat challah works too!)

Part 1: French Toast

Combine eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a large pan and soak the bread slices, turning them several times until they’re fully coated. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, then cook the bread until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes.

Part 2: Rum-Glazed Bananas

Heat rum, sugar, butter, and orange juice in a skillet until the butter is melted. Add the bananas and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the bananas are tender, about 4 minutes.

Assemble and Serve

Serve the French toast warm with the rum-glazed bananas and a side of fresh strawberries for a sweet and satisfying brunch.
