Sweet Sausage French Toast Casserole With Caramelized Bananas Recipes

CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Peel bananas and cut lengthwise in half.
• Sprinkle sugar over bananas so they're lightly coated.
• Place in oven and broil until the sugar caramelizes.
• Meanwhile in saucepan, combine sugar and a little bit of water just enough to dissolve sugar and place on stove.
• Cook mixture on high heat while constantly stirring until it becomes a light syrup.
• Add the raisins just before taking it off the stove.
• Immediately after the bananas come out of the oven, top with raisin syrup mixture and serve.

FRENCH TOAST WITH RUM BANANAS

Steps:

• For French Toast:.
• In a shallow wide bowl, beat eggs, milk, half and half vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in frying pan or griddle over medium heat. While butter melts, soak 2 to 3 slices of bread in batter. Remove bread and let excess drip off.
• Arrange slices in pan, not letting slices touch. Fry one side until golden brown for approximately 5 minutes. Flip over and brown second side. When done transfer to a cookie sheet and keep in a warm oven. Repeat for other slices. Before serving sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• For Rum Bananas:.
• Melt butter over medium heat. When butter starts to turn brown, add bananas and mix gently. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of bananas. Stir until sugar has melted.
• Add rum and cook 1 minute. Add maple syrup and water. Cook until just heated. Remove from heat and use as topping or beside toast.

EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
• Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
• Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
• Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
• Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
• Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
• Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.

QUICK FRENCH TOAST WITH CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat nonstick skillet to 350, medium high.
• In shallow dish, mix egg and milk until well incorporated. Dip bread into egg-milk mixture to coak. For softer french toast, allow to soak until all liquid is absorbed.
• Let about 1 teaspoon butter melt in skillet. Cook french toast in butter about 1 min per side, until just golden brown. Is desired, sprinkle with cinnamon before flipping. (If using strips, cook on all four sides.).
• Remove french toast to warm plate.
• In skillet, combine brown sugar and remaining butter.
• Add banana. Cook just enough to coat all sides with bubbling butter/sugar mixture, and carmelize slightly; less than 2 minutes total.
• To serve, top french toast with caramelized banana and any of the butter/sugar mixture left in the pan.
