Banana's Foster French Toast

If you are going to make French Toast, why not take it one step further and make something amazingly yummy?

NEED:
FRENCH TOAST
4 to 6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of sugar
Bread ( 2 slices per person ) I like to buy uncut bread so I can cut my own and make it thicker than the average slice or you can use Texas Toast.

TOPPING
3 to 4 bananas cut into 1/2 pieces
2 tablespoons of butter
1/4 cup pancake syrup
1/4 cup dark Karo syrup **if you don't have Karo syrup use 1/2 cup pancake syrup
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon

Slice the bread and set it aside.
in a shallow pan or pie plate..Mix all the ingredients for the french toast.
You can make the french toast in a fry pan or on a griddle. I have a griddle that covers two burners and love it for this as I can make all the french toast at once.

In a sauce pan heat all the topping ingredients, but the bananas, to a low boil. Add the bananas and keep it on a low boil to heat the bananas and thicken the syrup. Stir, lightly, to cover the bananas with the syrup mixture.

While the bananas are heating, make the french toast.

Spray the pan with non stick cooking spray or add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt. Dip the bread in the french toast mixture, coating both sides. Place in skillet or on griddle and allow to brown. ( 2 to 3 minutes ) then turn and brown other side. Continue until all the french toast is made. If you are using a skillet you can place a cookie sheet in the oven ( 200 degrees) and place the completed french toast on the cookie sheet, to stay warm, while you make the rest.

Place french toast on individual plates and top with bananas and drizzle with some of the syrup from the pan.
** you can also sprinkle with chopped nuts for a bit of a crunch.**

This is easy and delicious.

ENJOY!
