Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk of any kind
  • 2 tablespoons mashed ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 4-8 slices sourdough bread depending on how large the bread slices are -- ours were pretty big
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter separated
  • 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brandy

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and then add the milk, mashed banana, cinnamon, and salt to the eggs and whisk until combined. Pour the egg mixture into a baking dish or bowl.
