Ingredients

• 4 pieces thick slices of bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
• 2 pieces ripe bananas (sliced)
• 0.25 cups walnuts (chopped)
• 0.25 cups maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly saturated.

Step 4

Place the coated slices of bread onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden-brown. Repeat in batches if necessary, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Step 5

While the French toast is cooking, toast the chopped walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet used for the walnuts, melt another tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced bananas and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until caramelized and golden.

Step 7

To serve, place the French toast slices onto plates, top with the caramelized bananas, toasted walnuts, and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy your delicious French toast with bananas and walnuts!
