Epic French Toast

I promise, there's French Toast under all the fruit.

8 slices challah, about 1/4" thick
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
pinch of cayenne
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Peanut butter
Nutella
2 bananas, sliced
1 tbsp + 1/2 tbsp butter
5 large strawberries,  sliced
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tsp sugar
Maple syrup and powdered sugar (optional)


1. Combine eggs, milk, cinnamon,  nutmeg,  vanilla, cayenne and beat until combined.
2. Put peanut butter on 4 slices of challah. Nutella on the other 4 slices. Combine a pb slice, a nutella slice and some bananas into a sandwich.
3. Put strawberries and blueberries in a bowl, toss with sugar.
4. Heat 1 tbsp butter in cast iron skillet. When butter starts to foam, dip sandwiches in egg mixture. Let excess drip off. Then place in pan. Cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Then flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove to plate
5. In a separate skillet, melt 1/2 tbsp butter until slightly brown. Add strawberries and blueberries. Cook 1-1 1/2 minutes.
6. Pour fruit on top of french toast. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with syrup.
7. Tell your Inner Fat Kid that Mike says "You're Welcome".
