Bananas Foster & Pistachio French Toast

Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Whisk to mix well. Heat skillet or griddle with butter under medium heat.

Once butter is bubbly (avoid burning), dip Texas toast into egg mixture to coat on both sides, then pan fry. Let the bread soak for 10 seconds or so on each side, but do not over soak. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side or until golden brown, then flip and cook for 1-2 additional minutes on the other side or until golden brown.

Repeat until all egg mixture is gone. It should make 7-8 slices of French toast. Add more butter to skillet/griddle if needed throughout the process. Set French toast on a plate when done and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Add more butter to the skillet and heat under medium heat. Add sliced bananas to skillet. Avoid overlapping them. Sear on one side, once they are golden brown, flip to cook the other side. Once golden brown, remove skillet from heat and top French toast with caramelized bananas. Sprinkle with pistachios, if desired, for a nice balance of sweet and salty flavors. Serve with maple syrup. Enjoy!
