Next in our Delicious Disney series, Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast from Chef Mark Buan at Surf’s Up! Breakfast with Mickey & Friends at Disney’s PCH Grill in Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel at the Disneyland Resort.
Chef calls it French toast, but it’s more like a bread pudding made with rich challah, a traditional Jewish yeast bread sweetened with honey. And is there any more perfect combo than chocolate, peanuts and sweet bananas? It’s perfect for a breakfast buffet, or we’d serve it for dessert with a generous drizzle of warm chocolate sauce.
Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Banana French Toast
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 8 thick slices day-old challah bread

But….that’s not “French toast”, that’s bread pudding!
(The name had me picturing some kind of super Tonga Toast.)
Whether it’s French toast or bread pudding, this recipe looks good and easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
