Crunchy Brioche French Toast with Pan Fried Honey Cinnamon Apple Banana
If you know me, you know I love brunch! I’ve been drooling over pictures of brunch in Sydney, Australia where my sister lives. Two Sis Pyrmont has been my biggest inspiration so far. Once I saw their Matcha Pancakes with the pan fried banana I died inside.
The full component list is a long one…

Recipes
Basically I had an idea of what I thought might taste good, I looked up a bunch of different recipes and combined them all. Here’s the base recipes for each of them along with changes I made:
Crunchy French Toast from The Pioneer Woman
1/2 Cup of Panko
Pan Fried Honey Cinnamon Banana
Don’t remove the skin, just cut the banana in half and fry on open side
Peanut Butter Honey Drizzle
2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
Honey to taste
Heat in microwave on 15 sec intervals, mine heated in 2, mix in honey
Homemade Whipped Cream - Came from my Mom’s recipe book
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1-2 Tablespoons Sugar to taste
Beat Heavy Whipping Cream until soft peaks form, add in sugar and beat until stiff peaks form
Garnishes
Crushed Pecans
Raspberries
Pomegranate jewels
Plating
Stack two to three pieces of french toast in the middle of the plate
Drizzle peanut butter around the edges in varying widths and lengths
Drizzle honey around the edges
Scatter pomegranate jewels and crushed pecans along the drizzles, put raspberries around edges
Scoop whipped cream or gelato onto the top of stack of french toast, sprinkle pecans
Add fruits (Lilikoi/Passionfruit in my case) to the side of the whipped cream
Adhere pan fried banana on to the side with a toothpick - place the banana leaning against the whipped cream/gelato, then stick toothpick in down the stack of french toast to where it is no longer visible
Add edible flowers if you have some!
That’s it :)
