Gourmet Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast with Salted Caramel Drizzle

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Western Family Smooth Peanut Butter (Natural)
• 4 slices, thick-cut Country Harvest Bread (Challah or Brioche)
• 1, sliced Ripe banana
• 2 large Eggs (free-range)
• 1/4 cup Half-and-half
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Bourbon)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• To taste Maple Syrup (Grade A Dark)
• 2 tablespoons (store-bought or homemade) Salted caramel sauce
• Pinch Flaked sea salt

Instructions

1. Spread natural peanut butter evenly on two thick-cut slices of challah or brioche bread. Arrange the banana slices over the peanut butter, then top with the remaining two slices of bread to create sandwiches.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the free-range eggs, half-and-half, cinnamon, and Bourbon vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Melt unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is properly heated to prevent the French toast from sticking.
4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow the bread to soak for a few seconds to absorb the mixture fully.
5. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure even browning by monitoring the heat and flipping carefully.
6. Remove from the skillet and slice each sandwich in half. Drizzle generously with salted caramel sauce and a pinch of flaked sea salt. Serve immediately with Grade A Dark maple syrup on the side.
