Ingredients

8 slices banana bread, slices should be 1-inch thick
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 bananas, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch sliced

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined and set it aside.
Arrange the sliced banana bread on a rimmed baking sheet and pour the egg mixture over top. Allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture for 1 minute. Carefully flip each slice of banana bread and allow it to soak for another minute.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter and carefully transfer the banana bread to the skillet.
Don’t overload the skillet. Fry it in batches. I tend to get four slices in at once. Fry the bread for 3-4 minutes per side.
Once done, remove the slices from the skillet, add the remaining butter, and fry the next 4 slices.
Plate and garnish with sliced bananas, toasted walnuts, and maple syrup.
