Recipe



To make the French toast, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Grease a large pan with melted butter and place over meidum-high heat. Dip slices of brioche, one at a time, into egg mixture, covering both sides of slice. Quickly place into pan and cook both sides, turning once, until golden brown.

To make caramelized bananas, heat a pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Stir in the light brown sugar and cook until sugar is melted. Stir until sugar becomes thick and bubbly. Add bananas and toss to coat. Set aside.

To make the spiced whipped cream, whisk the cream, sugar, vanilla and spices in a bowl or mixer, until soft peaks form.

To serve: Lay two slices of the French toast, overlapping with each other, on a plate. Top with caramelized bananas and then a dollop of the whipped cream. If you like, you may garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few cranberries and mint leaves, in the fashion of holly berries and leaves. Makes 4 servings.
