Method (preview)

1. 1

   In a large, shallow bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs until lightly frothy.

2. 2

   Stir in the milk. Set aside.

3. 3

   Peel the bananas into a small bowl and mash with a fork.

4. 4

   Stir in the walnuts and nutmeg.

5. 5

   Spread the banana-walnut mixture evenly over half the bread slices, leaving a 1/4 inch (6-mm) border uncovered on all edges.

6. 6

   Top with the remaining bread slices and press down gently to seal.

7. 7

   Place 2 sandwiches in the egg mixture.

8. 8

   Turn gently until evenly saturated on both sides.

9. 9

   Remove from the bowl and repeat with the remaining 2 sandwiches.

10. 10

    In a frying pan or griddle large enough to hold all the sandwiches at once, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.

11. 11

    Add the sandwiches and fry until the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

12. 12

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan in several pieces, distributing evenly, then flip the sandwiches with a spatula and fry until the second sides are browned, about 2 minutes longer.

13. 13

    Place on warmed individual plates.

14. 14

    Serve hot, with jam or maple syrup alongside.

15. 15

    Notes: Layering two slices of bread, sandwich style, with a mixture of bananas and walnuts results in French toast with a surprise filling.

16. 16

    Try other favorite nuts in place of the walnuts, if you like.

17. 17

    Accompany with bacon, ham or sausage. >Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library: Breakfasts &
