Chocolate Banana French Toast Towers
Cubes of soft bread soak up a sweet custard of eggs, milk, and condensed milk, then get pan-fried until golden and stacked with fresh banana slices and melted chocolate. A cozy breakfast or dessert that's pure comfort.
Ingredients
thick-cut bread slices
4 slices, cubed
eggs
2 large
milk
½ cup
condensed milk
3 tablespoons
bananas
2 ripe, sliced
butter
2 tablespoons
chocolate chips or dark chocolate
½ cup
vegetable oil
for frying
Instructions
1
Soak the bread
Whisk together the eggs, milk, and condensed milk in a shallow bowl until smooth. Add the bread cubes and let them sit for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through so they soak up the custard evenly.
2
Fry until golden
Heat a splash of oil and a pat of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked bread cubes in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they're golden brown and crisp on the outside. Work in batches if needed.
3
Assemble the towers
Layer the warm French toast cubes in serving bowls or on plates. Add a generous layer of fresh banana slices between the toast, then sprinkle chocolate chips on top. The heat from the toast will melt the chocolate slightly.
4
Serve immediately
Dust with a little powdered sugar if desired and serve right away while the toast is still warm and the chocolate is gooey.
