Ingredients

• 4 T. butter
• 1/4 c. light brown sugar
• pinch ground cinnamon
• 3 ripe bananas, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
• 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
• 12 thick slices Brioche challah, French bread, or Italian bread
• Egg Batter:
• 4 large eggs
• 1 c. whole milk
• 1 t. ground cinnamon
• 1 t. rum extract, optional
• Toppings:
• butter, maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, jam or powdered sugar

Steps

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When melted, add the brown sugar and cinnamon; stir until the sugar melts into the butter and becomes a sauce. Add bananas; toss together.
2. Cook until bananas are slightly soft and incorporated into the sauce. Transfer to a bowl; cool completely. You could place it in the refrigerator to speed it up. Once cool, add cream cheese; mash lightly.
3. Gently spoon 1/6 of the cream cheese mixture on 1 slice of bread; top with another slice. Repeat with remaining bread.
