Step 1
Heat cream in a saucepan over medium until steaming, ~3 minutes. Whisk egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until pale.
Step 2
Slowly pour hot cream into yolk mixture while whisking constantly to avoid scrambling eggs.
Step 3
Return mixture to saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until it coats the back of a spoon, ~4 minutes. Add vanilla, then pour into a bowl.
Step 4
Slice bananas 1/4-inch thick. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high, then sauté banana slices until golden-brown, ~2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Divide custard into 4 serving dishes or ramekins. Top each with caramelized banana slices.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar evenly over each dish. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize until deep golden and crackling, ~30 seconds per dish.
