Follow The Directions

01

Step

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the French bread slices in a single layer in the prepared dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring each piece is soaked. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard. (8 hours)

04

Step

The next day, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish. Arrange the banana slices evenly over the soaked French bread. (5 minutes)

06

Step

In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, and light corn syrup. Mix well until a smooth sauce forms. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the bananas and bread. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (40 minutes)

08

Step

Let the baked French toast cool slightly before serving. This allows the flavors to meld even further. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of rum or bourbon to the bananas Foster sauce.
If you don't have time to soak the bread overnight, a minimum of 2 hours will still yield delicious results.
Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an even more indulgent experience.
