Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2-3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 cups melted vanilla ice cream ((or any flavor; regular or low fat))
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 12 slices Challah bread ((or Brioche or other good white bread), cut into thick slices about 3/4-inch wide)
  • 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 bananas (peeled, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced)

Instruction

  • Spread melted butter on baking sheet(s) until well coated. Set aside.
  • Whisk together ice cream, eggs, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in large shallow bowl until well combined. Dip bread slices in mixture, allow to soak for a few seconds, then place on baking sheet(s). Cover bread and set in refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove French toast from refrigerator (bring to room temperature if using a temperature sensitive baking dish such as glass) and remove cover. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Meanwhile, place maple syrup, vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and banana in microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high in 1 minute increments, stirring after each, until bananas are soft, about 3-5 minutes. Serve over French Toast.
