Filling and Decoration
Directions
Preparation
- Custard
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, milk and cream. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well. Add the vanilla and whisk again.
French Toast
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and oil.
- Dip each slice of bread into the prepared custard mixture. Allow to soak for just a few seconds on each side and then transfer to the skillet. Allow to cook until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- After you have cooked the French toast, top each with a smear of peanut butter, a few banana slices and one slice of bacon crumbled over the top.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
