Macadamia And Banana French Toast Recipes

BAKED BANANA MACADAMIA FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Grease six (6 ounce) ramekins with butter. Place in baking dish (I used two round cake pans).
• Place half the bread in the ramekins.
• Top the bread with banana, macadamia nuts, and cream cheese, dividing evenly between each dish.
• Cover with remaining bread.
• In separate bowl, whisk eggs, half and half, vanilla and maple syrup until well combined. Slowly pour over each ramekin, dividing the liquid mixture evenly between each dish. You might have a small amount of liquid left over, but try to get as much as possible into the ramekins.
• Cover baking dish(es) tightly with plastic wrap, weigh down with a heavy plate to smash the bread into the liquid, and refrigerate over night. Note: some of the liquid will spill out into the baking dish the ramekins are placed in.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• If any of the liquid mixture spilled over, remove the ramekins from the baking dish and carefully pour anything that spilled back into the ramekins. Return ramekins to baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• To serve, top with additional maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar.
