Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 8 thick slices banana bread
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully integrated and no streaks of egg remain.
  2. Place 2-3 slices of banana bread into the custard and let them soak for 30-60 seconds per side, avoiding over-soaking.
  3. Heat the unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat until it foams.
  4. Add the soaked banana bread slices to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the edges turn a deep mahogany-brown and the exterior is slightly crisp.
