Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
• 1 Banana
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
• 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)
• 0 optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the banana into thin rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and chopped walnuts until well combined.

Step 3

Spread the cream cheese and walnut mixture evenly onto one side of each slice of bread.

Step 4

Arrange banana slices on top of the cream cheese mixture on two of the slices of bread, then place the remaining slices on top to form two sandwiches.

Step 5

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 7

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off before placing the sandwich in the skillet.

Step 8

Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed when flipping or adding the second sandwich.

Step 9

Remove from heat and slice the sandwiches diagonally for easier serving.

Step 10

Garnish with powdered sugar and serve immediately with maple syrup if desired.
