Preheat oven to 375*, slice bread.
For batter, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt.
Pour into a shallow dish-one that can hold 4 slices, like a casserole.
Soak bread in batter 1-1 1/2 minutes.
Then flip slices over and soak 1-1 1/2 minutes more.
Now, heat an ovenproof skillet over medium heat
Add oil to the skillet, then add the soaked bread slices.
Saute on one side until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
Flip the bread over, immediately transfer the skillet to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes.
The toast will puff up-like a souffle.
While the French toast is in the oven, make the quick Bananas Foster Syrup.
