omgz.... SUCCESS!!!! (Banana Bread French Toast)

 Huzzah!!  Banana Bread French Toast was a huuuuuge success!
I've got to thank Mr. Emeril Lagasse (BAM!) for helping me out with this amazing success at brinner.  Gah, the man's a genius!!

Brent and I had first tried the Banana Bread French Toast thing at the HoDo's Easter Brunch.  It was phenomenal.  I'd love to go to another one of their holiday brunches.

Here's your batter recipe:
4 large eggs
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla (I used 1-1/2 tsp :)  )
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp granted nutmeg

Cut the banana bread into 3/4" - 1" slices.  Dip it into the batter.  I used a spatula (the kind you see in the pic below) so the bread doesn't crumble in the batter.  Make sure to slice your bread up a little in advance so that it dries out a little bit so it isn't too moist (ugh, I hate that word...)


Toss it into a pan on medium heat and let it cook.  You're supposed to grease the pan, but for some reason I have a huge issue with butter and a hot griddle/pan.  I always seem to burn it and it gets gross and...  You get it.  Anyway, I just use non-stick pans.  They're great.


I made a double batch... That's why there's so damn much of it.  I went through almost two loaves of banana bread..  Yeah, I over did it...  My bad.  BUT!  Troy did have some left overs to bring home!


Here's the finished product at the table.  Big ass plate of bacon, eggs and a butt load of banana bread French toast!  Woot!  SO good..  HOWEVER, if I may add a bit of a suggestion...  Go easy on the maple syrup.  Lots of butter (I use Promise because I enjoy that fake buttery taste and that it's not one ion away from being plastic) and it's amazingly tasty.  Just like regular banana bread, but with a little kick :)
