French Toast

We haven’t done a breakfast recipe in a while, so here’s an easy french toast recipe. There are no frills here, just good ol’ fashioned bread dipped in batter and perfectly browned on both sides.

The best breads for french toast are challah and french bread. They soak in all of the liquids while maintaining their structure. If you try to use normal sandwich bread, they tend to break down a lot easier. You want to use a hearty and thick bread.

Nothing says “I love you” like the smell of breakfast in the morning. It’s also my favorite meal to cook. On days that I work and leave the house before my DH, I even make him breakfast and leave it in the fridge for him to warm up when he wakes up.

Banana Waffles with Caramelized Bananas

Bananas are a no brainer for breakfast items. There are banana muffins, banana pancakes, sliced bananas on oatmeal, banana bread, bananas on yogurt, and banana french toast. Well, I took it a step further and made bananas waffles with caramelized bananas so you can add another goodie to that breakfast list.

Don’t forget that you can always eat them as is. That’s usually how my DF prefers them.

As for me, I’ll take them caramelized or flambéed any day.

This dish is definitely restaurant worthy. If I ever open my own breakfast spot, these waffles would be on the menu.

Instead of using whipped cream on top, Cool Whip would make it even better since it could stand up to the heat of the waffle without melting. I had to take these pictures quickly before I had a puddle of whipped cream dripping down the sides of the waffles.

The caramelized bananas were sweet enough on their own, so you don’t need to add any maple syrup. A little sprinkling of powdered sugar would be sufficient if you really needed that something extra. I chose to use cinnamon.

Another tip when it comes to making waffles is that when you remove the waffle from the waffle maker, don’t put it on a plate immediately after. Place it on a cooling rack so that the bottom can cool a little and crisp up. If you place the waffle on a plate straight from the grill, the bottom will get soggy from the heat having no where to escape.

You can also place them in the oven to keep them warm while you’re making another batch.

As for the caramelizing part, it’s a beautiful sight.

Yes, just yes. Give me a spoonful of that, please!
