Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 12 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pinches ground cinnamon
- 4 slices brioche bread, challah (or any moist and fluffy bread you like(1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick) or 4 slices cinnamon raisin bread (or any moist and fluffy bread you like(1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons rum
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter

Method
- To make the french toast:.
- Beat the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl until well blended.
- Pour the egg mixture into a baking pan large enough to give you room to turn and soak the bread.
- (A 13 by 9-inch pan works well.)
- Lay the bread slices in the egg mixture and let them soak, turning them several times, until the bread has soaked up all the egg.
- Turn them gently so they don't break apart on you.
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- When it starts to bubble, lay the soaked bread in the pan.
- Cook, turning once, until the bread is nicely browned and the egg in the center of each slice is cooked through, about 12 minutes.
- Serve warm with the Orange-Rum Bananas.
- Note: If your skillet isn't large enough to hold all the bread slices at once, cook them in batches.
- Before you start your first batch, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (or "Warm").
- Keep the cooked slices warm on a baking sheet in the oven while you cook the rest.
- To make the orange rum bananas:.
- Heat rum, sugar, butter and orange juice in a large skillet until the butter is melted.
- Add the bananas.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat so the sauce is bubbling gently.
- Cook until the bananas are softened, about 4 minutes.
