You will want to make this easy, yet fabulous, Bananas Foster Pistachio French Toast.
In my quest for finding an inspired new brunch idea, I stumbled upon this decadent plate full of deliciousness.
This is French toast turned indulgent—holiday-morning indulgent, linger-over-coffee indulgent. Thick slices of bread are soaked until custardy, then griddled to a deep, golden hue. On top, bananas are caramelized in butter and brown sugar until their edges bronze and their centers melt, finished with a whisper of warm spice and a glossy drizzle that pools into every nook. A snowfall of chopped pistachios brings color and crunch, the perfect counterpoint to the softness beneath.
And then—because restraint has no place here—a generous cloud of whipped cream, just barely sweet, cool against the heat of the toast. Each bite is rich and nostalgic, a little theatrical, and utterly comforting. It’s the kind of breakfast that asks you to sit down, slow down, and savor—forkful by forkful—until the morning stretches wide and sweet ahead of you.
Here’s what you will need. Pure maple syrup - yum!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas,
and may all your wishes come true.
Love from my kitchen to yours,
Pat
