Banana Bread French Toast? Carla Hall Just Did That | Fan Fridge Dessert Challenge

Fan Fridge Week wraps up with a sweet bang as Carla Hall raids the fridge of Eryca from Glen Burnie, Maryland, and turns a random mix of ingredients — banana bread, berries, cottage cheese, and lemonade — into a brunch-ready masterpiece: Banana Bread French Toast with Lemonade-Berry Compote and Chocolate Greek Yogurt.It’s classic Carla: a little Southern soul, a little improv, and a lot of heart. She whips cottage cheese into a smooth custard with eggs, oat milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon for a high-protein French toast base, then tops it with fresh berries tossed in reduced lemonade syrup. Michael and Clinton can’t resist heckling (and taste-testing), especially as Clinton tells a childhood story involving blackberries and an apology to “Laura Stratton.”Between the laughter, the blending, and the slow-mo whipped cream finale, the trio closes out Fan Fridge Week with warmth, wit, and a reminder that even leftovers can become something special. The result: a dish that tastes like banana bread pudding’s classier cousin — and the perfect sweet ending to a wild week.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipesKeywordsCarla Hall, Clinton Kelly, Michael Symon, Chewed Up podcast, Fan Fridge Friday, banana bread French toast, cottage cheese custard, lemonade syrup, berry compote, chocolate Greek yogurt, brunch recipes, leftovers, creative desserts, comfort food, easy French toast recipe, home cooking, breakfast for dinnerTimestamps0:00 – Friday energy + Clinton’s sugar breakdown1:00 – Carla gets her fan fridge: Erica from Glen Burnie, MD3:00 – Banana bread discovery and idea: French toast!5:00 – Cottage cheese debate: Michael’s trauma returns6:00 – Blending the custard + cinnamon cloud chaos7:00 – Lemonade reduction plan for the berries9:00 – Clinton’s blackberry childhood apology10:00 – Sponsor shoutouts: Frontgate, Blues Hog, Casamara Club12:00 – Carla’s protein custard + fan recipe update14:00 – Greek yogurt + chocolate hack16:00 – Banana bread hits the pan — flavor in the brown!18:00 – Lemonade syrup meets the berries (compote moment)20:00 – The perfect bite: banana, chocolate, and tangy fruit23:00 – Dessert confessions: what’s your fridge sweet fix?24:00 – Bread pudding nostalgia + potato roll secrets27:00 – Fan mail: favorite guests from The Chew (Carol Burnett, Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton, etc.)33:00 – Double giveaway: Carla’s cookbook + Clinton’s ice mold find35:00 – Final thoughts on Fan Fridge Week — chaos, connection, and love🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFrontgate → Elevated furniture and entertaining essentials that make every spread look stunning. https://www.frontgate.comBlues Hog → Award-winning sauces and rubs from the Champions’ Choice. https://www.blueshog.comCasamara Club → Botanical leisure sodas for mindful sipping without the booze. https://www.casamraclub.comAll-Clad → Premium cookware crafted in the USA and trusted by chefs everywhere. https://www.allclad.comHedley & Bennett → Professional-grade aprons and kitchen gear built for pros and passionate cooks alike. https://www.hedleyandbennett.comKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.comCamera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.comAbout Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
