Banana Maple French Toast Recipes

FRENCH TOAST STUFFED WITH BANANA & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Peel and slice the bananas, mash with the maple syrup and set aside. Place the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a wide, shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Using a sharp knife, slice open each slice of brioche from the top to form a pocket, leaving at least 1cm around the edges. Stuff the pockets with the banana mix. Soak the stuffed brioche in the egg mix for 30 secs on each side.
• In a large non-stick pan, melt half the butter. When sizzling, place the brioche in the pan and fry for 2 mins each side until golden. You may have to do this in batches. Transfer to the oven to warm through for 5 mins. Serve drizzled with extra maple syrup and a spoonful of vanilla yogurt.

BANANA FRENCH TOAST WITH BANANA COMPOTE AND MAPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• For the batter: combine eggs, cream, and bananas in a blender and mix until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Remove to shallow dish for dipping the sliced brioche.
• Make hole in center of brioche with a long, narrow object, and stuff with banana.
• For the banana compote: add all ingredients except cornstarch to a saucepan, bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until banana is barely tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cornstarch mixture, return to heat and let simmer until thick and clear, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
• For the maple butter: combine together in a food processor until smooth.
• To assemble the dish, slice the banana stuffed brioche loaf into 1 1/2 inch slices, dip into batter, and in a medium saute pan over medium heat cook the slices in butter until golden brown on both sides. Serve slices with the banana compote and maple butter.

BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH BACON, BANANA & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously, then add the single cream, vanilla and sugar, and whisk again.
• When you're ready to cook, heat the oven to its lowest setting, pop a baking tray inside and pour the cream mixture into a shallow dish or tub that will allow space for the brioche to lay flat. Heat a griddle or a frying pan to a medium heat, and melt the butter and the oil together.
• Place the brioche slices in the cream mixture for 1 min, then turn each slice and gently press all over, allowing them to soak up the liquid for another 1 min or so until fully soaked.
• Remove the brioche from the mixture and place onto the hot griddle or pan (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for a few mins on either side until the inside is tender and moist (but not wet). To check this, make a small cut in the middle with a knife - the inside should be like cooked bread pudding. Keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining slices.
• In the meantime, fry the bacon in a pan for 5 mins until crispy. Serve the French toast topped with bacon, bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.

MAPLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• First allow your sliced bread to sit at room temperature for approximately 1 hour to allow the surfaces to dry out.
• In a wide bowl, beat your eggs with your maple syrup until the mixture is slightly thickened.
• Beat in the milk, vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
• Place your bread slices in the mixture and allow them to soak in the mixture for approximately 5 minutes until saturated well.
• Next you will want to preheat your skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons of butter.
• Once your butter has melted reduce your heat to medium-low and saute bread slices for about 5-6 minutes per side, making sure that you flip each slice over every 2 minutes or so to make sure that they brown evenly.
• You may have to cook in 2 batches if you use a smaller skillet.
• Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and place random berries around the plate for a nice look and tasty meal.
