Ingredients:
3 bananas |
4 cups dark brown sugar |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 cup half-and-half |
1 pound 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. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
