2. Can I use homemade banana bread?

Yes, its homemade version works well, especially if it’s a day old. Slices that are a bit hard soak up the custard easily but don’t break up.

3. How do I prevent banana bread from falling apart?

Use thick slices and soak them for a few moments. Don’t let them soak too long, and use medium heat when cooking so the custard sets before it is turned over.

4. Can Banana Bread French Toast be prepared ahead of time?

The custard can be prepared beforehand and stored for up to 24 hours. The French toast should be cooked before serving for the best results.

5. Can I freeze leftover Banana Bread French Toast?

Yes. Make sure it cools completely before placing it in an airtight container, where the French toast can remain fresh for two months.

Banana bread French toast is a soul-satisfying blend of two popular breakfast dishes. The banana bread slices are dipped in a custard mash of eggs, milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. They are then cooked to perfection, yielding delicious caramelised Danish-style toast with a soft custard filling and superb banana flavour. Unlike ordinary breads, banana bread has a naturally sweet flavour and a more delicate crumb; its slices soak up the custard mixture well without becoming too soggy or crumbling during cooking. The bread is definitely best when slightly aged, as it can maintain its shape while getting nicely crisp on the surface. This French toast is perfect for your breakfast or brunch any day of the week, and even for dessert when served with whipped cream or ice cream. Add maple syrup, bananas, berries, or nuts to finish it off. The recipe is an ideal way to turn your leftover homemade banana bread into a new dish.
