directions

Step 1

Bring equal amounts of water and sugar to boil. Let it boil, swirling pan occasionally until it turns a deep golden brown colour. Spoon circle shapes of the caramel onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Let cool completely until hardened.

Step 2

Whisk together eggs, cream, and cinnamon. Dip each croissant half into mixture and coat well.

Step 3

Melt some of the butter in a nonstick skillet and pan fry croissants, turning once until golden brown on both sides. Add more butter as necessary and repeat with remaining croissants.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, bring ½ cup of butter and sugar to a simmer. Add banana halves and rum extract if using, and cook for about two minutes to warm through.

Step 5

Divide croissants onto 8 plates and spoon banana mixture over top. Dollop each with whipped cream and sprinkle with pecans to serve. Top with caramel crunch to garnish if desired.
