PEANUT BUTTER FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Whisk together milk, eggs, peanut butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
• Heat the oil in a griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
• Dunk each slice of bread in egg mixture, soaking both sides. Place in pan, and cook on both sides until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve hot.

BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST WITH PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cream, milk, nutmeg and eggs in a bowl. Working in batches, soak the banana bread slices in the mixture.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat with a bit of the butter. Cook a batch of the banana bread slices until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to keep warm. Cook the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
• Cut the bananas into oblique slices, place on a baking sheet and coat with the sugar. Brulee them with a kitchen torch or under a broiler (or leave raw if you do not have a torch or broiler).
• Arrange the French toast on plates, top with a quenelle (oval-shaped scoop) of the Peanut Butter Mousse, spread the bruleed bananas about, grate chocolate over the top of it all and serve with a side of the warm Cinnamon Maple Syrup.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions.
• Combine the banana, buttermilk and vanilla in a bowl. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves in a second bowl. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and paddle just to combine. Scrape down the sides and then add the buttermilk and banana mixture. Scrape down again, and add the remaining flour until just combined uniformly.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake on the center rack until a toothpick inserted in the loaf comes out clean, 50 minutes to an hour, depending on your oven. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely.
• Whisk the cream to medium peaks and set aside.
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, salt and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway, until the mixture is uniform, about 5 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, a third at a time. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Blacken the cinnamon a bit on a gas burner.
• Put the maple syrup in a pan and heat until warm. Remove from the heat, add the blackened cinnamon sticks and let steep in the syrup for 20 minutes.

PEANUT BUTTER FRENCH TOAST STICKS

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter and honey together, and place in the fridge.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare a cookie sheet with nonstick parchment paper (or greased with oil).
• Prepare the dough: divide into 5 pieces. Flatten out into circular shape (keep it thick, this isn't the final rolling). Do this for all 5 pieces.
• Make the egg batter/wash: Mix the egg, water, sugar, and cinnamon.
• Take out the peanut butter and honey mixture. Divide into 5 pieces and roll into circles.
• Place the peanut butter/honey mix in each of the dough circles.
• Close the dough around the peanut butter/honey mixture (like a dumpling!). Use a rolling pin to flatten out as thin as you are able to.
• Place the discs on the prepared cookie sheet (I could only fit 3 per cookie sheet). Cover the discs with the egg mixture.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut out strips or square shapes in the dough.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• If you want to divide the dough into 2 big pieces and roll it out into a rectangular shape to make longer strips, you may want to poke it with a fork to keep the dough from puffing up to much!
