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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGrease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the French bread slices in a single layer in the prepared dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn 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
StepCover 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
StepThe next day, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)
05
StepRemove the plastic wrap from the baking dish. Arrange the banana slices evenly over the soaked French bread. (5 minutes)
06
StepIn 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
StepBake 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
StepLet the baked French toast cool slightly before serving. This allows the flavors to meld even further. (10 minutes)
