Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Mix 2 eggs in a bowl and whisk them.

Add 1/4 cup of dark rum, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the eggs and whisk until combined.

Soak 4-5 slices of French loaf in the egg mixture for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally.

In a separate pot, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium-low heat for the sauce.

Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the melted butter and stir until dissolved.

Stir in 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk and then add another 1/4 cup of dark rum, stirring until creamy and bubbly.

Sprinkle brown sugar on one side of the soaked bread before placing it in the skillet, sugar side down.

Cook the bread for about 1-2 minutes until browned, then sprinkle brown sugar on the other side and flip.

Cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are caramelized and crispy.

Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve with the hot rum sauce poured over the top.
