Caramelized Banana Nut French Toast {Breakfast for Dinner}

French Toast is one of my favorite breakfast foods.  Start with slices of bread, any kind of bread….nutty, grainy, fruity, thick sliced, thin sliced, sweet or savory.  In this instance we set up a White Bread with pine nuts in our bread machine the night before.

Dip the bread slices in beaten egg, that’s been seasoned or sweetened.  Grill the slices in a little melted butter until browned nicely.  Then top with…well in this case bananas that have been caramelized in butter and brown sugar.  A little sprinkle of chopped walnuts and a drizzle of New Hampshire maple syrup.  I think I may have to make Caramelized Banana Nut French Toast for breakfast or dinner real soon.
