Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 (1-inch-thick) slices Banana Bread (recipe follows)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon; pour into a shallow dish. Working in batches, dip Banana Bread slices in egg mixture, fully coating both sides. Let stand on a plate.
