Let’s get cooking, shall we?
Ingredients (serves 2-3, because sharing is caring):
– 6 thick slices of brioche bread (yes, we’re feeling fancy!)
– 3 ripe bananas
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup mascarpone cheese
– 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 3 tablespoons butter
– Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
– Maple syrup for serving

Instructions:
1. First, let’s make that dreamy whipped mascarpone. Beat the mascarpone with 2 tablespoons of honey and a splash of vanilla until it’s fluffy and cloud-like. Pop it in the fridge while we work our magic on the rest.
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This is where the magic begins!
1. Slice those bananas diagonally (because we’re extra like that 💁♀️) and toss them with brown sugar.
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add butter, and once it’s melted, add your sugar-coated bananas. Let them caramelize until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each side. Set aside and try not to eat them all (I know it’s hard!).
1. In the same pan, dip each slice of brioche in your egg mixture (let it soak for about 30 seconds each side – patience is virtue, darling!), and cook until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
1. Now for the fun part – assembly! Layer your French toast with generous dollops of whipped mascarpone, arrange those gorgeous caramelized bananas on top, drizzle with maple syrup, and if you’re feeling extra naughty, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Pro tip: Want to really impress? Warm your maple syrup before drizzling – it’s these little touches that make all the difference!
