Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup agricole rum, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Step 2: Dip each of the 6 slices of brioche bread into the custard mixture, soaking for 30 seconds per side to absorb the liquid but not become soggy.
- Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy. Add soaked brioche slices and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate.
- Step 4: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and the mixture bubbles.
- Step 5: Add 3 sliced bananas and 1/4 cup maple syrup to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, gently turning bananas until they caramelize and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 6: Spoon the warm banana foster sauce over the French toast slices and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
