Bananas Foster Stuffed French Toast
Caramelized Flambèed Bananas, Philly Cream Cheese, Pastry Cream, Wet Walnuts
Did you picture this???
At White Dog Cafe, conveniently and dangerously located just down the street from me in University City, they are committed to serving local, seasonal ingredients from farms that practice sustainability. Not only do they use organic and fresh ingredients, but they cook from the heart and create deliciously decadent cuisine. This french toast was phenomenal, and the best I have ever had...
The bread had a slight crunch on the outside, encrusting the doughy and soft brioche slices. Two pieces were sandwiched together encasing perfectly melting cream cheese and caramelized bananas. On top, they drizzled real maple syrup, and generously sprinkled enough candied walnuts for each and every delectable bite. You want melt-in-your-mouth-die-and-go-to-heaven french toast? GO HERE if ever in Philadelphia. Great service, cute outside dining area, amazing food, reasonable prices.
Rebecca and I did it right....we split the sweet french toast and the savory biscuits and gravy. Slightly odd combination, but great balance in taste. I realized that splitting meals is the best, because then you get to try two instead of one! Plus, I always seem to get jealous of what my meal partner orders, so its just better to split two and share.
