Banana Bread French Toast With Creme Fraiche
- 1 loaf banana bread (8-by-4-inch, home-made or use purchased)
- 1 cup skim milk (any combination will work) or 1 cup whole milk (any combination will work) or 1 cup half-and-half (any combination will work)
- 4 eggs
- 12 teaspoon vanilla
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 18 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 bananas, ripe, thinly sliced
- confectioners' sugar
- 12 cup creme fraiche or 12 cup light sour cream
- 12 cup orange marmalade
- Heat oven to 200 degrees (this will be to keep french toast warm later).
- Cut ends off bread.
- Cut bread into 3/4-inch-thick slices; cut each slice in half on the diagonal to make triangular pieces.
- Set aside.
- Mix milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a shallow dish or pie plate; set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon oil and butter to the griddle.
- Gently and quickly dip a couple of slices of the bread into the egg mixture to thoroughly soak both sides with the mixture; carefully transfer each bread slice to the hot pan.
- Cook until nicely golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn each slice; cook second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Transfer to an ovenproof platter; keep warm in the oven cooking remaining bread using the remaining oil and butter as needed.
- Serve with powdered sugar and slices of bananas on top.
- Add dollops of marmalade and creme fraiche (or sour cream) to the side.
