French Toast Stuffed with Bananas and Walnuts

• 6 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 4 very ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup (1 ounce) coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 8 slices egg bread
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• Confectioners sugar, for dusting

1. In a large, shallow bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs until lightly frothy.
2. Stir in the milk; set aside.
3. Peel the bananas into a small bowl and mash them with a fork.
4. Stir in the walnuts and nutmeg.
5. Spread the banana-walnut mixture evenly over half the bread slices, leaving a 1/4-inch border uncovered on all edges.
6. Top with the remaining bread slices and press down gently to seal.
7. Place 2 sandwiches in the egg mixture and press down gently.
8. Turn gently and let soak for a moment, until evenly saturated on both sides.
9. Remove from the bowl and repeat with the remaining 2 sandwiches.
10. In a frying pan or on a griddle large enough to hold all the sandwiches at once, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.
11. Add the sandwiches and fry until the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
12. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into several pieces and dot them around the pan.
13. Flip the sandwiches with a spatula and fry until the second side is browned, about 2 minutes longer.
14. Place the French toast on warmed individual plates.
15. Using a small, fine sieve, lightly dust the tops with confectioners sugar.
16. Serve hot, with jam or maple syrup.
