YUMMMY! featured on Guy's diner's drive-ins and dives, a decadent and delicious french toast from Surrey's cafe in New Orleans..the right city for a bananas foster recipe! I edited the recipe to take into account 2blue's suggestions Ingredients:
3 bananas |
1 cup dark brown sugar |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 -3 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 cup half-and-half |
1 lb butter |
3 ounces dark brown sugar |
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup rum |
2 ounces heavy cream |
oil |
1 loaf french bread, cut in 4 pieces |
powdered sugar, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Bananas foster mix: Add all ingredients except 1 banana and thoroughly mix with the hand held blender until it is well combined and uniform.
2. Batter: Whip eggs and sugar with a whisk. Add vanilla and whisk until sugar has completely dissolved. Continue to whisk while adding the half-and-half.
3. Sauce: In a hot pot over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar with the vanilla. Wait until butter is completely melted. Remove pan from the heat, add the rum and ignite with a long kitchen match. When the flames die down, add the cream immediately and whisk vigorously until sauce is completely smooth.
4. Assembly: Heat some oil in a large saute pan. Stuff 4 quarters of hinged French bread, with the reserved sliced banana, and top with the cream cheese stuffing. Slice the 4 portions of filled bread into 4 diagonal pieces, dip into the batter and pan-fry on all sides until golden brown. Pour the warm rum sauce on a plate. Place the golden pieces of toast on top and garnish with powered sugar.
