Banana Pecan French Toast




Recently I had breakfast at this little restaurant in NE with the BF called Hazel's. We tried their Banana Walnut French toast, and it was heavenly! Since I do not have the moo la to go there all the time, I attempted to make my own version of this tasty breakfast.

Sadly, I did not write down the recipe, so this post may not be exact. But on the plus side this is one of those dishes the does not require exact measurements.

Banana Pecan French Toast.

2 slices of Texas Toast.
A handful of Toasted Pecans
One Banana Sliced
One Banana mashed
Nutella
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon
Vanilla extract
Nutmeg
3-4 eggs
Milk
Jack Daniels Whiskey Bourbon

For the frech toast:

Beat eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and milk together. Add a splash of Mr. Jack Daniels (this is definitely the grown-ups version). Soak the bread in the mixture, and fry it up.

For the Pecan mixture:

In a pan, toast the pecans. Once toasted, add some brown sugar, and a little milk to make a caramel sauce. Add a splash of Jack Daniels. The end result of the sauce should be like a thick but runny syrup.

For the Assembly:

Place one piece of french toast on plate. add a layer of Nutella, and Then the mashed banana. Place the other piece of french toast on top. Top with the caramel pecan mixture, and place some slices of bananas on top.

And there you have it! A tasty treat for breakfast (or dinner)!
