French Toast with Bananas
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon light or dark rum
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices good white bread, preferably sourdough
- 4 bananas, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Confectioners sugar
- Mix together the egg, yolk, vanilla, rum, sugar, and half-and-half in a broad, shallow bowl.
- Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium-high.
- Put each slice of the bread in the batter and, when the butter foam subsides, cook the bread until nicely browned on both sides, in batches if necessary.
- Meanwhile, put the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in another nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- When the foam subsides, cook the banana pieces, turning frequently and sprinkling them with the brown sugar, until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cover each piece of French toast with a portion of the bananas and sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
- Serve hot.
