Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- 120ml single cream
- 2-3 Drops of Vanilla Spice Drops®
- 4 Thick slices of brioche
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 Drops of Pumpkin Spices Spice Drops®
For the topping:
- 110g Butter
- 115g Dark brown sugar
- 60ml Dark rum
- 2 Drops of Pumpkin Spices Spice Drops®
- 4 Bananas peeled and sliced
- 25g Chopped pistachios
Method
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla and Pumpkin Spice Drops.
- Lay the brioche slices in a single layer in a shallow dish and pour the egg mixture over them. Allow to soak for 1 minute, then carefully turn over and soak for 1 minute more.
- Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until foaming. Carefully lift 2 slices of the soaked brioche into the frying pan and cook for about 3 minutes a side until golden and crisp. Keep warm in the oven whilst you cook the other slices and toppings.
Banana Rum Topping:
- Add the butter, dark brown sugar and Pumpkin Spice Drops into a frying pan on a medium high heat until the sugar and butter has melted and forms a caramel. Add the rum and sliced bananas and gently stir until the bananas are warmed through.
Plate 2 slices of the french toast on a plate and top with the banana and rum sauce and sprinkle with some nuts before you dig in!
