Bananas Foster French Toast

Source of Recipe


From "The Deen Family Cookbook" by Paula Deen



List of Ingredients



• 4 eggs
  
• 1 cup heavy cream
  
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 4 Tbsp (½ stick) butter
  
• 8 large croissants, sliced in half
  
• 1 cup maple syrup
  
• ½ cup dark corn syrup
  
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
  
• 6 ripe bananas, halved crosswise and then lengthwise
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  
• 1 tsp rum extract
  






Instructions



1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and cinnamon.
   
   
2. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat 4 of the croissant halves in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the croissant halves in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Transfer them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat, using the remaining croissant halves and butter.
   
   
3. Add the maple syrup, corn syrup, and brown sugar to the skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the banana quarters, turning to coat with the syrup, and the pecans, and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the rum extract. Spoon the sauce over the croissants and serve immediately.
