1 loaf banana bread (8-by-4-inch, home-made or use purchased)

4 eggs

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 bananas, ripe, thinly sliced
confectioners' sugar
½ cup creme fraiche or ½ cup light sour cream
½ cup orange marmalade

1
Heat oven to 200 degrees (this will be to keep french toast warm later).
2
Cut ends off bread.
3
Cut bread into 3/4-inch-thick slices; cut each slice in half on the diagonal to make triangular pieces.
4
Set aside.
5
Mix milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a shallow dish or pie plate; set aside.
6
Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot.
7
Add 1/2 tablespoon oil and butter to the griddle.
8
Gently and quickly dip a couple of slices of the bread into the egg mixture to thoroughly soak both sides with the mixture; carefully transfer each bread slice to the hot pan.
9
Cook until nicely golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
10
Turn each slice; cook second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
11
Transfer to an ovenproof platter; keep warm in the oven cooking remaining bread using the remaining oil and butter as needed.
12
Serve with powdered sugar and slices of bananas on top.
13
