Crispy Honey Butter Toast with Bananas Foster

Preheat your oven to 375F. For the Crispy Honey Bread: Mix your softened butter, brown sugar, honey, and a pinch of salt until it’s a paste consistency. Slice your bread into 1-inch slices and cut off the edges to square it off. Spread the paste in a thin layer covering the entire piece of bread (front, back, sides, everything). Bake at 375F for 11 minutes, then flip and bake again for 6 minutes. Set on a wire baking rack to cool.

For the Bananas Foster: Slice your bananas and set aside. In a pan, add the brown sugar and cold butter (cut into slices). Keep your heat ON LOW; if your mixture gets too cold it will split. Continue stirring until butter and sugars are melted. Add in your bananas and cook for about 3 minutes. Add in Licor 43 and light with a match or torch to burn off the alcohol. Add in cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

To Serve: Serve your crispy honey butter toast with vanilla ice cream, top with the bananas foster, and then optionally add vanilla wafer crumbs and an extra pinch of cinnamon. Enjoy!
